Hi,
Was there at one time, a Text Editor example in the Xojo examples folder?
I just looked there and can’t find anything - really annoying as I now need to look into text editing capabilities

Examples/Sample Projects/XojoText
Also see the related webinars:
Thanks Paul.
I downloaded the latest version of Xojo and then found the XojoText example project - however, when I tried to run it - it threw a NilObjectException.
I guess I will need to watch the 2 webinar videos later.
Thank you.
Alas a bug slipped in related to loading the preferences (it assumes the file exists, when it won’t the first time you run it).
Update App.LoadPreferences with this code to fix it:
[code] Dim prefFolder As FolderItem
#If DebugBuild Then
prefFolder = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child(“XojoText”)
#Else
prefFolder = SpecialFolder.ApplicationData.Child(“XojoText”)
#Endif
If prefFolder <> Nil Then
Dim prefFile As FolderItem = prefFolder.Child("XojoText.json")
If prefFile <> Nil And prefFile.Exists Then
Dim tis As TextInputStream
tis = TextInputStream.Open(prefFile)
Dim prefs As JSONItem
prefs = New JSONItem(tis.ReadAll)
tis.Close
FontName = prefs.Value("FontName")
FontSize = prefs.Value("FontSize")
End If
End If[/code]
Thanks Paul.
That now works, but the file wasn’t quite what I expected.
I was really looking for a text editor example with the capability of choosing colour, emboldening text, underlining text etc.
I would have liked to be able to examine existing code to see how all that kind of stuff is implemented.
Thank you for trying to help anyway.
Danke Schön - genau das was Ich gesücht habe
Really struggling with trying to create underline, bold, and italic toggle buttons
I am sure I saw a video somewhere on how to create these, but can’t find it now.
Does anyone know of any videos detailing this?
in the Action Event of the button
TextArea1.SelUnderline = true
TextArea1.SelBold = true
TextArea1.SelItalic = true
Axel,
Thanks.
What I have done is set this post as answered, and started a different post with a few TextField questions combined. This way I do not have to create lots of posts.
My TextEditor problems are now combined in a post called 2 Text Editor Questions.
Basically, all is now ok, apart from the buttons not toggling and the buttons captions not recognising italic or underline.
Thank you for your understanding.
