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.com>wrote: > what is it supposed to return, all of the text in the field? > > > On 10 October 2010 10:34, Inselfan <balearenin...@gmx.net> wrote: > >> >> Hola Stephen, >> >> Thanks for this, but: Yes I have a blinking cursor and YES this >> (Selectedchunk) works perfect with the same text-field and another button. >> It is really 1:1 >> >> Must be something else >> >> Kind regards >> >> Horst >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/selectedChunk-always-empty-tp2970443p2970459.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 >> > > > > -- > > > > Stephen Barncard > San Francisco Ca.
