[Qt-qml] [QML] fail to selectAll in TextInput

[Timo Strömmer]

Hi,

I think when you click on the TextInput, the click event coming after focus event clears the just-made selection. It works if you switch between windows while the TextInput has focus. I'm not sure what would be optimal solution, but you could try delaying selectAll with a timer or filtering the next mouse event or some other tricks.

Hi, there

I met some issue when I use TextInput. I tried to selectAll() when activefocus is true and unselectAll when activefocus is false. But it doesn’t work. See following code. Is there a method to implement my requirement?

import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
    id: rectangle
    width: 600
    height: 400
    MouseArea {
      anchors.fill: parent
      onClicked: {
        rectangle.forceActiveFocus();
      }
    }
    TextInput {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        id: textinput
        text: "Hello,\n World!"
        cursorVisible: true
        selectByMouse: true
        selectedTextColor: "yellow"
        selectionColor: "royalblue"
        width: parent.width/2
        height: parent.height/2
        onActiveFocusChanged: {
          if (activeFocus == true) {
            selectAll();
          }
          else {
            select(0,0);
          }
        }
    }
}
