Cursor Position in Spell checker in Asp.Net - RapidSpell Web ASP.NET - Forum

Hi,

In spell checker(as you type), we are unable to set the cursor position.

For example whenever enter is pressed we want to insert some character after that character immediately we want to set the cursor position. But we are unable to do that.

Kindly do the needful as soon as possible.

Hi,

Let me explain it clearly.

We have designed the page with Keyoti Spell Checker. And, it works fine. One of the expected functionality is - it should be in the Bullet Mode. That is, whenever the user hits the enter button, it should go to the next line and it should automatically insert the bullet character and then, the cursor should wait immediate next to the bullet character.

Out of this, we are able to insert the new line character and we are able to insert the bullet character. But, when we inserted the bullet character from the program, the cursor does not wait immediate next to the bullet character. Instead, it waits to the next line of the bullet character.

The following is the code we have written with Keyoti for bullet insert.

else if (evt != null && evt.keyCode == 13)
{
var txtarea = rsw_activeTextbox.shadowTB;
var scrollPos = txtarea.scrollTop;
var strPos = 0;
var range = document.selection.createRange();
range.moveStart ('character', -txtarea.value.length);
strPos = range.text.length;
var front = (txtarea.value).substring(0,strPos);
var back = (txtarea.value).substring(strPos,txtarea.value.length);
var text='\n'+'*';
txtarea.value=front+text+back;
}

Please let us know the fix for this.

Sorry for the delay, you can resolve it by shifting the caret to the correct position and calling .select (however you have to do it after the event has been processed), eg.



This appeared to work properly for me, in IE9.

-your feedback is helpful to other users, thank you!

Changing the bold code to this makes it work better for subsequent bullets



Unfortunately I can't see anyway around the cursor disappearing (note that although it's not visible, it is in the right place). The only suggestion for that unfortunately is to use a regular textbox and 'static' mode underlines.

2. We have two set of input fields in our screen. One is asp textbox with Rapidspell. And, others are telerik ASP .net radtextboxes. So, whenever we click on the telerik textboxes, it brings up the additional textboxes underneith. It happens only if we have asp textbox with Rapidspell in the page.

That's odd, I'm sorry to ask but I'll need to see me a mockup of this that I can run. If you could make a project with everything needed (ie all the telerik scripts etc) and send to me at support@keyoti.com

Thanks

Hi,

rsw_activeTextbox.updateIframe();
range.collapse();
while(range.text.length<(front+text).length+1)

The above code which is given by you is working fine at some point at first time when we hit enter. But for the second time when we hit enter it will reflect like continuous ** and subsequently when we give enter again the letters are splitted separately

Issue 1:

* Testtting data Line Item 1
* Testing data Line Item two

** Testing data Line Item threr Testing dataa Linee Item 4 Testing datta Line Item five
* Testing forr thee inserrtion of star in betweene

Please look for the above issues and send us the corrections as soon as possible.

Hi,

Thanks for the code. It almost meets the requirement.

But, i still have the following issue.

Whenever, we hit the enter button, It always inserts the * character at the end of the line in the textbox. If the user position the cursor in between any of the lines, it is supposed to insert * to the next line of the current position, instead of inserting to the end of the line.

For Example:

The textbox is initialized with the following text which is fetched from the DB. Now, this text has 3 sections - Assessment, Lab Order, Image Order. The user may need to insert some items under the first or second section - Assessment or Lab Order. But, it always allow the users to append the lines only at the end - which is Image Order Section here.



Here, Lets assume that the user has to append the line "*Test 6" under Lab Order Section by hitting the enter after "*Test 5" line.

Please let me know, how to fix this.
