CARET POSITION
Prior to NG Client, text fields had a 'Caret Position' value.

Previously, was using an algorithm that used the Caret Position to insert special text tags within a textfield by using this Caret Position value.

However, within NG Client, there seems to be no reference to the Caret Position.

There is a CSSPosition, but I'm pretty sure that's just the position of the element on the page and not related to the Caret Position.

HELP
How do I get the Caret Position of a text field, like the HTML Area? Does the CSS Position have something to do with it?

Hi,

in 2023.12 I have this function in the html area api

Code: Select all

replaceSelectedText(s)
Replaces the selected text; if no text has been selected, the replaced value will be inserted at the last cursor position.


According to the description that will do what you need.

Hope that helps
