Strange behaviour TMultiLineEdit |
Fri, Nov 6 2015 7:57 AM | Permanent Link |
Ronald | Hi,
I have a form with controls attached to a dataset. In this form I have a TMultiLineEdit that gets filled with text from the dataset. If I run the application and click the mousecursor somewhere in the control (for inserting text), and if I start to type then the cursor jumps to the end of the text. I see this in IE and in Firefox. What could cause this behaviour? Greetings, Ronald |

I'll have to see what I can come up with to make this stop occurring. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Actually, scratch that. It *should* be working as-is, but for some reason the edit control contents are different and that is causing an issue. I've got to look into this further, and I'll let you know what I find out. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I was wrong. My first replies were from looking at the EWB source code, and it looked like there was a potential issue present. However, I tried to reproduce this over the weekend, but was unable to do so. A simple form with a single-line and multi-line edit bound to a dataset do not have any issues with selective editing within the text on IE, FF, or Chrome. What happens if you run something like the attached ? (it uses the example Albums dataset) Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com Attachments: dataedittest.zip |

Then I save the record, browse to another record and return to the record that I just changed. Then it behaves wrong like I described. It seems to be having trouble with this return.

Did something go wrong with the update? |

I just tried it again with IE and FF, and they both work fine. Are you sure you're using 2.03 and that your project has been recompiled and then reloaded properly in the browser ?

Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com I am sure I am using 2.03 and have recompiled it. It behaves a little bit better the problem now only occurs the first time I edit the TMultiLineEdit. After that the problem is gone (even after I scroll to another record), until I refresh the data from te server again. The JSON for that particular datafield looks likes this: ,"omschrijving": "this is a test" Something wrong here? Greetings, Ronald |
