Is _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection not working?

[nobbitry]

Hi,

I'm using v3.3.14.2 and have a Problem with _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection. It doesn't seem to work (it doesn't hide the selection).

At the moment I help myself with a ControlSend to hide my previous selection, but I hope that isn't necessary.

 

That's the example from the help.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $g_idLblMsg, $g_hRichEdit

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGui, $iMsg, $idBtnNext, $iStep = 0
    $hGui = GUICreate("Example (" & StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, StringLen(".exe")) & ")", 320, 350, -1, -1)
    $g_hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, "This is a test.", 10, 10, 300, 220, _
            BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL))
    $g_idLblMsg = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 235, 300, 60)
    $idBtnNext = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next", 270, 310, 40, 30)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetText($g_hRichEdit, "First paragraph")

    While True
        $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $iMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($g_hRichEdit) ; needed unless script crashes
                ; GUIDelete()   ; is OK too
                Exit
            Case $iMsg = $idBtnNext
                $iStep += 1
                Switch $iStep
                    Case 1
                        _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($g_hRichEdit, 2, 5)
                        Report("Text is selected")
                    Case 2
                        _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection($g_hRichEdit, True)
                        Report("Selection is hidden")
                    Case 3
                        _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection($g_hRichEdit, False)
                        Report("Selection is not hidden")
                        GUICtrlSetState($idBtnNext, $GUI_DISABLE)
                EndSwitch
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

What windows version are you using?

I'm using Win10 Version 1607. And i can't seem to get _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection to work. I'm suspecting it might be windows 10 related

Edit:

never mind, i misunderstood what HideSelction is supposed to do.

Just to be clear what do you expect to happen? because as i read it, it's setting if selection is visible when loosing focus

Ah I got it. Sorry. I thought  _GUICtrlRichEdit_HideSelection($g_hRichEdit, True) would hide the selection in the active window.

Thank you.

Hehe totally understand why you would think that. I was under the same impression, until reading TextBoxBase.HideSelection Property from MSDN.
