Problems with selection.

Hi, I am highlighting text in WPRichText using the function SetSelPosLen and expecting to allow users to change the highlighted text boudaries using "Shift + Arrow Keys". But this does not work as expected and the selection is reset as soon as the selection keys are hit. How to get around this?

Also, I did observed that the similar thing happens while using selection with mouse and then trying and changing the selection area using the keyboard. This happens when wpNoAutoWordSelection = false in EditOptions and full words are automatically highlighted. In this case the selection is not fully reset, instead the selection is rolled back to position where it was highlighted by the mouse(before the full word was highlighted). Is this an expected behaviour?

Hi,

If you simulate keyboard selection it should be ok

WPRichText1.SetFocus;
WPRichText1.CPPosition := 100; // SelStart=100
WPRichText1.TextCursor.SelectText := true;
WPRichText1.TextCursor.MoveNext(20);  // SelLength=20

Thanks Julian, it worked out.
