selection display in Editorgadget in Windows

[a_carignan]

Good morning,
Is there an easy way to change the text selection display in Editorgadget in Windows?

Hello,

This topic and SendMessage_(GadgetID(X),#EM_REPLACESEL, 0,@String) use can do the job.

A quick example:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 200, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133,#PB_Editor_WordWrap)
  SetGadgetText(0,"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."+
                  " Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur."+
                  " Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.")
  ButtonGadget(1, 8, 160, 306, 20, "Change text")
  SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_SETSEL, 28, 39)
  Repeat
    If WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_Gadget And EventGadget()=1 And EventType()=#PB_EventType_LeftClick
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_SETSEL, 28, 39)
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_REPLACESEL, 0, @"New text")
    EndIf
  Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf

Oops, I'm not talking about how to select text. I'm talking about how to change text highlighting when selected. Sorry for my mistake.

[boddhi]

change text highlighting when selected.

Be more explicit. What do you want to change? Color, text (for this see my code), position, ?

[a_carignan]

The color of the selection highlight box.

[boddhi]

The color of the selection highlight box.

Box? What do you mean by box? Can you give a little code with comments?

I want to change the appearance of the text selection.

If I've understood correctly, it's a question of changing the background color used when selecting text.
However, I don't think this is only possible for a gadget. It's a system color. So changing this color will apply to the whole system.

Yes, that's right, I want to change the color of the selected text. Too bad it's not a gadget attribute. THANKS
