Menu Edit -> Select All

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I’ve got a question about the “Edit” → “Select All” menu in Servoy.
If I use it I cant select the text in a HTML Area. Does any one know how to do this?

Kind regards,

It seems to work fine for me.

Are you sure your field had focus when you tried it?
Does it work for you if you do Ctrl+a instead of the menu option?

Hi,

Well If I click on the field it has focus, doesnt it?
And CTRL+A (CMD+A) works correctly.

Kind regards,

As long as there are no events on the field that could change it, like onFocusGained.

Does it work correct if you change the displayType of the field to TEXT_AREA?

Hi,

Well a onFocusGained event is not a option for us. It slows down the application because we use splitpanels and when opening the app they will get the focus.
And yes on a TEXT_AREA it does work, any other tips?

Kind regards,

Rick

I’m not sure what the problem is then.
Can you reproduce this in a small solution? If so, please create a case in the support system, so R&D can have a look.
