Re: selectedChunk always empty?
perhaps you haven't selected a chunk of text in a field? If your field has a blinking cursor but no selection, that would make the selectedChunk empty, no?

Re: selectedChunk always empty?
perhaps you are defeating your selection by clicking a button or using the message box this works from the multi-line message box: *select text of fld Field of card id 1002 of stack Untitled 1* *put the selectedchunk* if you put this into the script of a button *on mousedown* * put the selectedChunk* *end mousedown* then the selection one makes by hand will remain and the selectedchunk will be placed in the message box output: char 1 to 22 of field 1 if the selection is a blinking cursor then the cursor position will be put into the message box output: char 23 to 22 of field 1 if neither the selection made by hand or a blinking cursor is happening, then empty is returned: On 10 October 2010 10:50, stephen barncard stephenrevoluti...@barncard.comwrote: what is it supposed to return, all of the text in the field?

Re: selectedChunk always empty?
Whatever I do, tSelectedChunk is empty. Is there any reason, Am I doing something wrong? Turn off the 'traversalOn' property for the button. When you click it it's getting the focus and removing it from the field before you can get the selectedChunk. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: selectedChunk always empty?
Hola Stephen, Thanks for your helping hand, but all exercises worked fine in the message-Box but didn't in the btn. So I tried Ken's help. But, :( this also didn't help. The solution was as simple: I created a new button, coppied the Message-Box-Text and... that works. I don't understand the miracles behind but that took me the full Sunday Once again, thanks Stephen and Ken time to go to bed now (23.57 p.m.) Horst -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/selectedChunk-always-empty-tp2970443p2970681.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: SelectedChunk
The selectedChunk gives the segment of text selected, in the form char chartPosition to endPosition of field n If the selection is empty (insertion point only), the result is something like char 5 to 4 of field 9 -- in this case to get the number of the word containing the insertion point, use: the number of words of char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of field 9 If a run of text is selected then the above will get the number of the word containing the end of the selection. -- Peter Peter M.

Re: SelectedChunk
Ok thats cool. So if its NOT just an insertion point then the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field yourfield will give the number of words preceeding the selection? So this whole thing could boil down to on mouseUp if word 4 of the selectedchunk word 2 of the selectedchunk then put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of field 1) else put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field 1) end if end mouseUp I knew I was making my solution WAY too difficult.

Re: SelectedChunk
You can work out exactly what you want if you realize that the result of the selectedChunk is always char chartPosition to endPosition of field n, and this will be as you would expect if the selection is not empty: ie, in this is a sample string of text in field 1, selecting the characters is a sample would result in a selectedchunk of char 6 to 16 of field 1 in which case the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field 1 would be: the number of words of char 1 to 6 of field 1, ie, the number of words of this i which is 2 and if the selection is empty then indeed the selectedchunk is always of the form char n to n-1 of field 1: So putting the insertion point before is in the above example would result in a selectedchunk of char 6 to 5 of field 1 and therefore the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field 1 would be the number of words of char 1 to 5 of field 1, ie, the number of words of this which is 1 On Sep 27, 2010, at 1:53 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: Nevermind. *sigh* Number of words prior to selection or insertion point is put the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field 1) Rev is far more amazing than I can make it be. So is Livecode! Yes indeed. Once you get the hang of chunk expressions you can do *lots* of things -- auto-format phone numbers, insert boilerplate at particular points in a field, extract specific information from a field or other container, etc. I have a little function to get the zip code for an address by sending the address to google maps, fetching the htmltext of the resulting URL, parsing it to get the zip code from the middle of the htmltext, and returning the zip -- all behind the scenes without displaying the webpage. Takes less than a second with a fast internet connection, the zip code is inserted after the address, and the user never needs to know what goes on behind the scenes.

ask dialog removes selectedChunk in field
Rev 2.6.1 Greetings, When I use the ask dialog to get some user input on changing some hilighted text in a field, the ask dialog removes the focus from the field, thus losing the ability to use the selectedChunk after the dialog has been dismissed.

By default, most button stypes of their traversalOn property set to true, which governs if the control can be traversed with the keyboard (most commonly via the Tab key). The problem you're experiencing is that when you press the button it also gets keyboard focus, which takes away the focus from the field. If you turn off the traversalOn property of the button you should be in good shape. -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It seems there should be a property of a stack that would return the name of the field that has focus for that stack.

I like to mark the field with a light grey background when it is suspended and restore the background to empty when the stack resumes.

Re: SelectedChunk
selectedChunk function Platform support: Introduced in version 1.0 Returns a chunk expression describing the location of the text selection or insertion point. the selectedChunk selectedChunk the selectedChunk put the selectedChunk into storedChunk See also: clickChunk function, foundChunk function, mouseChunk function, select command, selectedField function, selectedLine function, selectedLoc function, selectedText function, Why is the selected text deselected?, Why is the selection lost when clicking a button? Description Use the selectedChunk function to determine which text is selected. Value: The selectedChunk function returns a chunk expression of the form char startChar to endChar of field fieldNumber Comments: The return value reports the selected text: the startChar is the first character of the selection, and the endChar is the last character. If no text is selected but the text insertion point is in a field, the startChar is the character after the insertion point, and the endChar is the character before the insertion point. In this case, the endChar is one less than the startChar. If there is no insertion point or text selection, the selectedChunk function returns empty. To get actual text that is selected, use the selectedText function.

Look at tabKey as the equivalent of keyUp, meaning that it takes place *after* the key has been struck, so it actually tabs out of the field (or at least clears the selectedChunk) before you trap it.

Wouldn't it be wiser to do this when entering the field and reset it back when you exit the field? This would permit both behaviors...

selectedChunk under Windows
Is there something special about the selectedChunk under Windows? I have a stack where the user clicks on a word (or a sequence of words) in a locked field, and then on a button to have a given handler operate on the selection. The problem is that the selectedChunk seems to get lost immediately in the Windows build (tested under Windows 2000). For instance, I have a statement to trap for no selection being made: if the selectedChunk is empty then answer First click on a word to be messed around with. exit thisHandler end if This always evaluates to true, while the Mac OS X build behaves as expected. (And of course if I remove the statement, there is no result from the following statements that should work on the selectedChunk.) The button calls a handler in the stack script, and I have tried putting the selectedChunk into a global already in the button script and reselecting it in the stack script, in case Windows releases the selection between the button and the handler, but with the same results. Suggestions are very welcome. -- --- Kjetil Rå Hauge, U. of Oslo, PO Box 1030 Blindern, N-0315 Oslo, Norway Tel. +47/22856710, fax +47/22854140 ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: selectedChunk under Windows
It is probably the fact that the traversalOn of the button is TRUE. Turn it off and you should be OK. The reason is that if the traversalOn of the button is true, the field loses its focus when you mouseDown on the button, so when it runs the mouseUp script, nothing is currently selected and hence no selectedChunk.

SelectedChunk problems with OS 9
I have constructed a small keyboard stack with buttons with international characters. When entering text into a field in a stack a user can call up this keyboard stack as a palette. When the user clicks on one of these buttons that international character is inserted into the field of the toplevel stack at the point of the cursor. The user can then continue entering text into the field. The stack is called from a button script. Here is the relevant portion on callUpKeyboard global gMyStack put the name of this stack into gMyStack -- needed for the keyboard to set the topstack -- some code here to configure the buttons for the appropriate language palette stack keyboard end callUpKeyboard Then in the key group of the keyboard stack there is this script: on mouseUp global gmyStack topLevel stack gMyStack put the label of the target into myChar put mychar into the selectedChunk end mouseUp This works like a charm in OSX, rev 2.01. However, in OS 9, I constantly get an error message, indicating it can't find the selectedChunk. I am unable to insert the character at the cursor point in the field in the main stack. However, I can replace a character in the field in the main stack if I actually select it. So, by typing horen in the field, selecting the o and clicking on my button in the keyboard palette that is an o with an umlaut, I can get the umlaut in the proper place. But I still need to click in the field to continue typing. Is this a problem with the way Rev works in OS 9? Are my handlers problematic? thanks, Dan ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
