Get selected text from text area...

Hi all,

¿Can you help me with this?

I'm trying to get the selected text from a text area using javascript.

It does not work because "selectionStart" and "selectionEnd" seem to be undefined.

This is my code:

const instance = runtime.objects.textAreaObject.getFirstInstance();

var startSel= instance.selectionStart;

var endSel= instance.selectionEnd;

var result = instance.text;

result = result.substr(startSel, endSel - startSel);

alert(result);

Any idea of what is happening?

Do you know any other way to achieve it?

Thank you

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't all what you need getSelection() or window.getSelection().toString();?

So alert(getSelection()); should give you the selected text?

Great!!

Thanks a lot!

It woks with :

window.getSelection().toString();

But I had to uncheck the "use worker" option in project settings so I can access window object
