When switching focus between TEdits, the selection changes depending on the way you show the form.
When you show it with Form.show, and swith between two TEdits, the text is selected.
When you show the form with Form.Showmodal, And switch between, the cursor is at the end of the newly focused TEdit
reproduce :
Create a new form with 2 TEdits, type some text in both. Then switch between both TEdits, the whole text is selected, but when I show the form with Modal, The caret is positioned behind the text.
Why is there a difference in functionality? And where can I change it.
I found the code responsible :
procedure TStyledEdit.DoEnter;
var
Form: TCommonCustomForm;
begin
inherited;
Form := TCommonCustomForm(Root);
if not Model.IsReadOnly and Model.InputSupport and not FTextService.HasMarkedText and
((Form = nil)
//next part returns false
or (Form.FormState * [TFmxFormState.Showing] = [TFmxFormState.Showing]) or
(Form.FormState = [TFmxFormState.Engaged])) then
Edit.SelectAll
else
begin
UpdateSelectionPointPositions;
UpdateCaretPosition;
end;
end;
