[flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea?? ** SOLVED **
I think TextArea's textField was private in Beta 3, but it's protected in the final release. That's right. Since upgrading the solution works great. Thanks so much for everyones help.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
One way to do this would be to create a new component that inherits from textArea, but where you have overridden the event handling function(s). I would have to look to figure out what those functions are, but it shouldnt be too hard since you have the source. You really just need to find the appropriate functions and override with empty functions.

[flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
Thanks, I've never done that sort of thing before but it sounds like the route I may be forced to go down. Do you think it'd involve overriding the 'mouseover' handler with an empty function? Just seems absolutely bizarre why Flex wouldn't include a simple 'selectable' attribute with the textArea component. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One way to do this would be to create a new component that inherits from textArea, but where you have overridden the event handling function (s).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
It does, but TextArea extends Sprite, not TextField. It uses the
UITextField via composition. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the textField
variable is protected. Additionally, the textField is selectable by
default. You could do:
package
{
import mx.controls.TextArea;
class MyTextArea extends TextArea
{
protected override function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
textField.selectable = false;
}
}
}
And then use view:MyTextArea / instead.

You have to add view to the xml namespaces
in the calling document. I.E.
Say you have your MyTextArea control
sitting in a folder called components Here would be the xmlns code to
include it.
mx:Application
xmlns:view=components.*
/
view:MyTextInput
/

Re: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
Namespace the ho! Think of namespaces like imports.
import mx.controls.TextArea;
That allows you to do:
var a:TextArea = new TextArea();
So do like:
view:MyClass xmlns:view=your.package.path.* /
Or, if you are going to use MyClass multiple times, but the xmlns:view stuff
in your root tag so you only have to write it once.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
Out of curiosity, what is the use case to
disable selection of text? Can you just you disabled=false, or do you
want people to still type in it? Here is a working example of the code
you need though J I believe the problem with your component was you were not
calling the super.createChildren() first so the textField was not created yet
when you were trying to modify its properties. One weird thing I
noticed with this approach though is your caret is gone , but otherwise works
fine. Something else too, you should always use a default constructor and
call the super() method when extending components. This may also have
been the problem, but I didnt test enough to verify which one was the culprit.
package com.lsf.common.view.controls
{
import
mx.controls.TextArea;
public
class NonSelectableTextArea extends TextArea
{
public
function NonSelectableTextArea() : void {
super();
}
override
protected function createChildren() : void {
super.createChildren();
super.textField.selectable
= false;
}
}
}

Out of curiosity, what is the use case to disable selection of text? Dustin thanks so much for the assistance. In my application I'm displaying text in a textArea that I don't want the user to be able to select. To have the I-beam cursor popup on mouseover just looks wrong.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
Hmm odd, I tested it before I put it out there. Are you running the final build of Flex or a Beta build? Did you copy and paste the entire body of my code, or just that overrided method? Sorry about being the little late to the game on this one too, I read up why you wanted to do that after I had sent out that last message, made perfect sense :).

Out of curiosity, what is the use case to disable selection of text? Dustin thanks so much for the assistance. In my application I'm displaying text in a textArea that I don't want the user to be able to select. To have the I-beam cursor popup on mouseover just looks wrong. There's no user input going on into the textAreas in question. Unfortunately I'm getting the same error with your code! : Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a reference with static type mx.controls:TextArea It just doesn't want me getting at that textField! __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Thanks for all the help. I have it recognizing my class just fine
now. Unfortunately I'm getting this error:
Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a
reference with static type...
So the class I'm using (below) isn't quite cutting it. Any ideas for
changes?
--
package
{
import mx.controls.TextArea;
public class myTextArea extends TextArea
{
protected override function createChildren():void {
textField.selectable = false;
super.createChildren();
}
}
}

[flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm still getting an error: Attempted access of inaccessible property textField through a reference with static type... Obviously the code you guys gave me is good, so I have to assume it's because I'm running Beta 3 Flex. I'm upgrading in the next few days so I'll let you know if it works then. Thanks again. Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??
I thought it was TextArea.selectable = false; Does it have that property? No, it doesn't. I can't imagine why not. I am using Beta3 though, was the property selectable added in the release version? I didn't see it in any of the release notes. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
