Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. I don't see any way set set a property on a range of characters
in a native input control. If the app doesn't strictly need copy/paste you could probably use a
LC field instead.

Thanks for pointing me to "selectedRange".
put mobileControlGet ("field1", "selectedRange") into myTest
-- answer myTest //gives range 1,5
mobileControlSet "field1", "textColor", "255,0,0"
This doesn't work because all text will be colored and not just the
selectedRange.
greetings,
William

Hi there,
How do I get the selectedText of a native iOS field?
I want to change the color of the text selection in the field.
I think you want "selectedRange" which returns the start index and the
length of the text
selected. Judging from the dictionary it looks like it only works on
multiline fields.
