Tizen Forums

Hi, The following helped to obtain a selected text: 1. Include interface ->Tizen::Ui::ITouchEventListener and add the event listener to the the web control [__pWeb->AddTouchEventListener(*this);] 2. Using "SetBlockSelectionPosition" and "GetTextFromBlock" api's provided in the Tizen::Web::Controls::Web class, the required text can be obtained. 3. Set starting point in "OnTouchMoved" callback of "ITouchEventListener ", and read the text in "OnTouchReleased". Following code shows the obtained text in log: void TestAppMainForm::OnTouchMoved (const Tizen::Ui::Control &source, const Tizen::Graphics::Point ¤tPosition, const Tizen::Ui::TouchEventInfo &touchInfo) { if(!__firstPosFlag) //Use a flag to set position for the first point selected { __pWeb->SetBlockSelectionPosition(currentPosition); __firstPosFlag = true; } } void TestAppMainForm::OnTouchReleased (const Tizen::Ui::Control &source, const Tizen::Graphics::Point ¤tPosition, const Tizen::Ui::TouchEventInfo &touchInfo) { Point start, end; String str = __pWeb->GetTextFromBlock(); __pWeb->GetBlockRange(start, end); AppLog("Text Selected %ls", str.GetPointer()); AppLog("Text Block Range - %d,%d to %d,%d", start.x, start.y, end.x, end.y); __firstPosFlag = false; }

Hi, Initially a single word is selected as "SetBlockSelectionPosition" api binds the nearest word. Using the end markers that appear after a word is selected, you can select the block of text.

Hi Rajyalakshmi, I don't think you can underline the selected text as it is a part of the website, unlike a document etc..

Hi Rajyalakshmi, You cannot make such changes to the text in the webpage itself, you've to copy it and use that elsewhere. To display a context menu that can show options like 'copy', use Tizen::Ui::Clipboard class.
