is there any way to move the cursor to a word in the EditorGadget??

What word do you want to move the cursor to? Next word? First occurrence of a specific word, like "Abc"? 2nd word on 3rd line?

You can set and get the cursor, you can set a selection, you can get the text, and more. Depending on your needs,
it is just a matter of some string scanning and setting the cursor. It is also important what 'word' means to you,
for example [a-z]|[A-Z] or _|[a-z]|[A-Z], followed by _|[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9], Greek alphabet, or Thai letters only?

奥地利(欧洲中部国家) = 오스트리아 = ออสเตรีย = Австрия = Αυστρία = Østerrike = Itävalta = République d'Autriche = Österreich = Austria

Is this what you're looking for?

yes, that works

I am trying to check if an Editor Gadget has an attachment. This is the code I am using

Define exists.b
CocoaMessage(@exists, gadget, "containsAttachments")

But I get an invalid memory error

I think something wrong in my code

Is 'gadget' the GadgetID()? What about defining 'exists' as .l or .i?

Danilo,

Yes, gadget is the ID of the EditorGadget.

You need textStorage. Once you have the textStorage object, you can do a lot with that.

Thanks Wilbert

Oh, another problem I am having is zooming text in and out of editorGadget, I am using this code.

I am trying to access ScrollView to zoomScale, but I get an error

ScrollView = CocoaMessage(0,GadgetID(0),"ScrollView")
CocoaMessage(0, ScrollView, "zoomScale:@",2)

Try enclosingScrollView instead.

Edit: zoomScale also doesn't seem to exist. It might be more complicated.
It looks like you need scaleUnitSquareToSize: on the editor gadget itself.

Not that much complicated:

Thanks Guys

Danilo, it works scaling, but when you want to make it smaller it does not work.

size\width = 1.5
size\height = 1.5
CocoaMessage(0,GadgetID(0),"scaleUnitSquareToSize:@",@size)

this will scale the text up, then if I do this

size\width = 1.0
size\height = 1.0
CocoaMessage(0,GadgetID(0),"scaleUnitSquareToSize:@",@size)

It does not scale back?

Values < 1 to make it smaller.

Thanks Danilo

Do I need to put
CocoaMessage(0,GadgetID(0),"setNeedsDisplay:",#YES)
to refresh the screen?
