Event of text selection

[michal6]

Is there a event after text selection?
I want to run my own code after the user finish to select text. Is there any way to do that?

[Shubhanshu Dixit · Accepted solution]

Yes, there is an event (PREVIEW_SELECTION_END) after text selection.

Please visit https://www.adobe.io/apis/documentcloud/dcsdk/docs.html?view=view if you want to know how to listen to such events. You will get the required information under section Basic events.
