Mantra for Flash is, "When in
doubt, wait a frame."  You should apply that to Flex, too.





 





Apparently, some code runs, probably
via a doLater, 1 frame (or screen-repaint) after you focus on the text
field.  Therefore, your setSelection call actually DOES work, but is
quickly changed.





 





If you run your OWN setSelction an
additional frame later, it'll re-select it.  Check it, use these modified
fucntions, and then type in "asdf", tab out, and then back in.





 





function gotoend(event:Object)
{ 
 trace("gotoend");
 var len:Number = event.target.text.length;
 doLater(this, "setSelectionLater", [2, 3]);
} 





 





function
setSelectionLater(startIndex, endIndex)
{
 Selection.setSelection(startIndex, endIndex);
}

I would like to know how

Hi all,

   
I am having  problems with setFocus( ) function. What I am doing is
– I have a textInput control with id name tobdetail_ti and in the .as
file I am calling the following line of code so that if user press tab the
cursor should be in this field. Focus is transferred as desired but the problem
is it highlight the entire existing text. I don’t want this. I want the
cursor should be place at the end of the text. 

 

this.tobdetail_ti.setFocus();

 

Thanks! 
Hari

Re: [flexcoders] setFocus() problem.

2005-11-28 Thread JesterXL 





It's not a bug, it's how it works.  Here is 
the source code that makes it do it:
 
TextField.prototype.setFocus = 
function()  {   Selection.setFocus(this);  }
 
  TextField.prototype.>  {   if (this.tabEnabled != 
false)   {if 
(this.getFocusManager().bDrawFocus) this.drawFocus(true);   }  }
 
I can't find drawFocus, but I bet it does 
this:
 
Selection.setSelection(0, 
theText.lenght);'

why setFocus highlights the content of text input?
