caret

I'm developing a custom control, which most resembles a text area. I am drawing text, which works correctly, and accepting input which also works.. But I (the user) am left guessing where the caret is while I type, since I'm doing everything manually. How do I draw a blinking caret to show where I am currently typing? Is there a standard way to do this? ChrisW I think that, annoyingly, there is no managed API for Carets. You must, therefore, either PInvoke to the Win32 functions for carets, or, implement that functionality yourself (i.e. painting and hiding a blinking caret, when and only when

I found the following code here on SO to get the position of the cursor of a contenteditable div, however it always returns 0. The function that should retrieve the position: new function($) { $.fn.getCursorPosition = function() { var pos = 0; var input = $(this).get(0); // IE Support if (document.selection) { input.focus(); var sel = document.selection.createRange(); var selLen = document.selection.createRange().text.length; sel.moveStart('character', -input.value.length); pos = sel.text.length - selLen; } // Firefox support else if (input.selectionStart || input.selectionStart == '0') pos =

I have various <div> s on my page, which, when clicked, convert into TinyMCE editor sections. So the user can just double click on the div and then edit the text within it using TinyMCE. My question is - is it possible to run the TinyMCE functions on a <div> without actually having the text inside selected? What I mean is, I want to implement the following use case: User clicks on a <div> . <div> activates a TinyMCE session on itself. User can now use the buttons on the TinyMCE toolbar to edit all the text in the div, without having to actually select the text manually using the cursor.

I'm trying to move the caret in a Flex TextArea to the end after appending some text from my code. I've looked through the reference documentation for TextArea and its underlying TextField but it appears there is no method provided to handle this. One approach I've tried is to set focus to the text area and dispatch a KeyUp KeyboardEvent with the event's key code set to the "End" key, but this doesn't work. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks. Try this textArea.selectionBeginIndex = textArea.length; textArea.selectionEndIndex = textArea.length; For people looking for the Spark component way to

I've found a few things on setting CaretBrushes in WPF4, but has anybody actually ever changed the caret itself? What I'd like to do is use the OVERWRITE caret in INSERT mode. I've seen a hack from .Net 3.5 times , but it is unperformant and lacks behind actual cursor movement... It would be great if the Caret had a Template - That would be consistent with the whole WPF idea... Any advice? The CaretElement is an internal sealed class and not possible to customize through a data template for example. At least, the caret brush is possible to change. <TextBox Text="This is some random text"
