How get height of a text selection in a field solved

[jmburnod]

Hi All,
I ‘m looking for a way to get the height of a text selection in a field (dontwrap = false).
The selectedLoc return the topleft of the selection.
If my brain work well I understand that I can't use the formattedheight of the text selection (I thought put the selectedtext in an other fld to get its formattedheight). That can't work because the selection can begin at the last word of a "visible line" and end at the first word two or more lines farest.
I hope I'm clear (that should be a good new for my english level).
Best regards and thanks in advance for your ideas

Hi Jean-Marc,

for my first answer I probably misunderstood what you want.

If I now understand correctly then you don't want to use the formattedHeight of the selectedText as it currently is, but you need it always as if it would start at the beginning of a line?

If this is correct then you could try to put (temporarily) a CR before the selectedChunk, select it again and measure it?

Hi Hermann,
Thanks again.
I didn't read completely the doc.
I thought that formattedheight only works with controls
Warm regards
