Hi Ludo,

look at selectedChunk and textStyle in the dictionary.

make a button and a field

put

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the selectedChunk into tChunk
   set the textStyle of tChunk to bold
end mouseUp

into the script of the button.

Select some text in the field and hit the button.

Kind regards

Bernd

Thanks,

That's the script i use for a "size" button :

Code: Select all

 
      set the textsize of the selected chunk to (the textsize of the selected chunk)+1
      

but this doesn't work when i use a native iOS text with iphoneControlSet. I can't get the selectedchunck and :

Code: Select all

iphoneControlSet "text", "fontsize", "32"
-- change all the text on the field

i found a "selectedRange" option in the documentation but i don't know how use it.

Hi Ludo,

no space between "selected" and "chunk"

Yes, it's just the Lion's autocorrection which has corrected my script ! But my real script is ok. It work with a live code field but not with an "iOS field" (created by iphoneControlSet)

Hi Ludo,

I made a little stack that lets you select parts of the text of a native iOS field.

HOWEVER, I did not find a way to change just the selected part of the text. All changes to fontSize etc change the whole text.
