Question

Manipulating spark TextInput text through TextOperationEvent

Hi,

I'm trying to make a component that "format as you type" based on spark TextInput.

I'm using TextOperationEvent.CHANGING and the available operations (InsertOperation, DeleteOperation, and so on...)

My problem is that I can manipulate the inserted or delted text but *not* the text already set in the control. And more important, I want to avoid a textChange event

or valueCommit since I don't want validation occurs until I finish the editing.

I'm looking for a way to manipulate all text and I think the event is right (CHANGING), but I would need some example tp see how I can manipulate more text that the one inserted or delete

in the that operation. Instructions in the class says I can manipulate and delete more text, but I was trying and digging in TLF and I can't see the way.

Hope some one could help me and let me know where I can look or some sample to try.

Thanks in advance!

Carlos

Hi Glenn,

I was investigating how to do this during this weekend with no luck. So I think I can't help too much until someone at Adobe or someone that had a better knowledge of TLF tell us something.

Hope we have luck and someone respond with some kind of solution or way to investigate...
