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, It is working fine. but when i started selection only one word is selecting. Why i dnt know please explain me. I want to select block of text. Thanks Rajyalakshmi

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 Nikhil, Thanks I got selection procedure. When we select that text can we make that block of text as underline while selecting...? Thanks Rajyalakshmi

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 Nikhil, Can we write some actions on selected text. as changing color of selected block or adding to note like wise. After selecting the block of code how to write an action. like when we click on that block of selected code to display a context menu with some optins? Thanks Rajyalakshmi

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.
