Question

I have an TRichEdit. When I select some text and click on another element, the selection of the selected text disappears. Is there a way to keep this selection, also when the TRichEdit has los it's focus? Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

TRichEdit has a property HideSelection which is True by default. If set to False then the selection will still be visible even when the TRichEdit does not have focus.

BTW: the propery HideSelectionexists on other controls as well. It is also very usefull on a TListView or a TTreeView when you are showing details of the selected item in the listview or treeview.
