Hi All,

You need to modify xbrowse.prg.

In the METHOD Edit() CLASS TXBrwColumn, search for "::oEditGet:SelectAll()" and comment out that line.

I wonder what many programmers would prefer. The present default behavior of xbrowse or the new behavior preferred by you?

Dear RAO,

I think it would be better if there's a logical data whether to :selectall() or :selectnone()..

for example, my users edit a memo on xbrowse coloumn.. if by default is :selectall(), the entire content can be deleted if a char key was pressed.. so just by avoiding..

BTW, I commented what you suggests.

just maybe.. similar to this

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

 oCol:bEditWhen := {|Self| IF( Self:oEditGet <> Nil, Self:oEditGet:SelectNone(), Nil), .T.}

would be handy so not to modify xbrowse.

best regards,
Frances

Mr Fraxzi

Personally I too prefer not to use :SelectAll().
Depending on what most users prefer, Mr Antonio may finally decide.

Hi to all,

the default in most windows software is SelectAll(), but with increasing size of the content to edit, a data loss becomes more and more dangerous.

So, it would really be better to have a more comfortable way to switch between SelectAll() and SelectNone, as Frances described above.

Has anyone found a way to have memo edit default to selectnone() or unselect text during ON INIT?
I have tried many different ways to get the memo edit not to select all automatically.
This has caused more than 1 person to accidentally erase memo with keystroke.

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

local oDlg, oGet1, cText
   cText := 'This is existing text'
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "DLG_NOTE" TITLE 'Edit Note'
   REDEFINE GET oGet1 VAR cText  TEXT  ID 100 OF oDlg UPDATE
   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ON INIT oGet1:KeyDown( VK_END )

Without modifying XBrowse, you can set

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

XbrGetSelectAll( .F. )

Please try this

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

local oDlg, oGet1, cText
   cText := 'This is existing text'
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "DLG_NOTE" TITLE 'Edit Note'
   REDEFINE GET oGet1 VAR cText  TEXT  ID 100 OF oDlg UPDATE
   oGet1:bGotFocus := { || oGet1:SetSel( 0, 0 ) }
   
   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
