Linux get_selection_text

Does this work on Linux?
Should I allocate/free memory for a procedure like this?
Thanks
Code: Select all
ImportC ""
gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_content(*buffer.GtkTextBuffer)
EndImport
Procedure.s get_selection_text(gadget)
Protected b = gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_content(gtk_text_view_get_buffer_(GadgetID(gadget))
ProcedureReturn PeekS(b, -1, #PB_UTF8)
EndProcedure
OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 200, 130, "EditorGadget")
EditorGadget(0, 10, 10, 180, 80, #PB_Editor_WordWrap)
SetGadgetText(0, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
StartIter.GtkTextIter ; select all
EndIter.GtkTextIter
TextBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer_(GadgetID(0))
gtk_text_buffer_get_start_iter_(TextBuffer, @StartIter)
gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter_(TextBuffer, @EndIter)
gtk_text_buffer_select_range_(TextBuffer, @StartIter, @EndIter)
Debug get_selection_text(0)

gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_content(*buffer.GtkTextBuffer) is deprecated !
You always have to look for the GTK3 documentation.
gtk_text_buffer_get_text:
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
Code: Select all
Procedure.s get_selection_text(gadget, hidden_char = #False)
Protected r1.s, *textBuffer, startIter.GtkTextIter, endIter.GtkTextIter,*gchar
*textBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer_(GadgetID(gadget))
If *textBuffer
gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_bounds_(*textBuffer, @startIter, @endIter)
*gchar = gtk_text_buffer_get_text_(*textBuffer, @startIter, @endIter, hidden_char)
If *gchar
r1 = PeekS(*gchar, -1, #PB_UTF8)
g_free_(*gchar)
EndIf
EndIf
ProcedureReturn r1
EndProcedure

What can I say, if not…
THANKS MK-SOFT!
PS: Does your procedure need an ImportC? It seems_not_!
PPS: As you saw, I cannot test on Linux now, but, probably soon, I will be able to test even on Windows (
from my Mac; I'm cleaning up my SSD to upgrade MacOS and install VMs
)
PPPS: I already have all the old, pre-OSX Mac OSs (ooh… the good old times…); hope they will work in Sequoia…
