  • Deleting text, characters in MULTIEDIT Widget ?

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm currently using the MULTIEDIT Widget in my application in order to act also as a simplified Text editor.

    I'm reading an external file from SDCard to populate the MULTIEDIT and then i have a kind of virtual keyboard using Buttons (implementing letters/numbers and specific function like bkpspace) that i would like to use to
    modify the MULTIEDIT content

    The problem i have is that i have API to add_text at cursor position of set_text to modify the full content but no way to remove a line content or a character at a given position

    Am i missing something or its it just not possible to implement this kind of functionality using the MULTIEDIT widget ?

    Thanks for your support ^^

  • Hi,

    You can call

    MULTIEDIT_AddKey(hItem, GUI_KEY_DELETE);

    for deleting characters on right side of the courser and

    MULTIEDIT_AddKey(hItem, GUI_KEY_BACKSPACE);


    to delete a character left of the courser.


    Regards,

    Sven
