Hi, i recently purchased Blue to help with my projects.

Just wondering about the Richedit gadget, is there anyway to return a single word from within it, rather than everything that it contains?


Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi Oolite,

There isn't an explicit command to do this, though if I remember correctly (I don't have the documentation available at the moment) there is a getSelText command which will allow you to retrieve the selected text.

Uhm, I always use getGadgetText(RichEditId) and it always works fine here...

I want to be able to return a single word from the rich edit, not the whole thing.

i don't have blue... yet but if i'm thinking correctly, you could return all the text and write some code to parse the text and get exactly what you want from it. that should be fairly easy...

Well, use getGadgetText, and then process the string yourself, by detecting spaces.

<edit> sorry, redeemed, didn't see your post.

Try this function:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=77930&b=6

Combined with getGadgetText(RichEditId) it can tell you the location of a word if you already know what it is, possibly useful for syntax highlighting, which is what I'm trying to do, but with little success. I'd like to know how to color a particular word in RichEdit, but that may not be what you want.
