Is there a way to make DW highlight all selected word like in notepad++ ? Comes very handy when working with variables.

I want to create a very simple markdown editor with contentEditable and execCommand. I can only find examples where you select a text and press a button to make the selected text bold (or other stuff). But I would like to be able to write **bold text** and that it automatically makes the text between ** bold. Same like the editor from stackoverflow, but I don't want the ** to be removed. They should still be there, but maybe in another style. I don't know how to do it. Do you do that with Regex or how?
I'm working with a PowerPoint document which annoyingly sets all newly inserted text boxes' color to Red and uses Century Gothic. I believe this is due to the Master Slide being used by the document.
I would like to remove this automatic setting from text boxes in the Master Slide but I cannot figure out how?
I have gone into the Master Slide view and found that there are no text physical text boxes, there are however "Text Placeholders" but no text boxes. I find it strange and wonder:
how are these newly inserted text boxes contain pre-set font type and color?
If you aren't trying to do this in code, StackOverflow isn't really the right place for the question; you want SuperUser for "How do I ..." questions that don't involve code.
But what you want to do is select a text box that's formatted the way you want default text to be, then right click it and choose Set As Default Text Box. You won't get that option if you've clicked WITHIN the text box and have an insertion cursor; in that case press ESC, then rightclick.
If you're trying to do this in code, select a text box formatted to taste then do something like this:
Sub SetMeAsDefault()
Dim oSh As Shape
Set oSh = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
With oSh
.SetShapesDefaultProperties
End With
End Sub
The shape and text box defaults are independent of master formatting, which controls only the formatting of placeholders and text within placeholders. Text/shapes inserted via the Insert ribbon/menu follow the defaults set for the presentation as I've described above. Each presentation (and template) can have its own set of defaults.
Is there a simple way to have a default text in the textbox using jQueryUI's autocomplete ?
I have tried using data-placeholder but it doesn't seem to work.
I have searched online, and people suggest using the textbox value to display the text, and clear it on focus. But then I would need to change the font style just for the default text, and check onKeyUp when the text is manually erased etc...
Is there no easier way to do this ? or am I missing something ?
A lot of people will use a span that is positioned to be over the text box. When the text box gets focus then you hide the span. When the text box blurs and has a value, you don't show it. If it doesn't have a value then you can show it again.
You can style the span however you want independently of the text box so you would not have to change the font style on the text box itself. You would have to subscribe to the focus and blur events, but it would be much easier if you created a jQuery plugin to do this. In fact, I'm sure there are ones that already exist that do this.
I have a usual TextBox. I know in order to change the color of some text I can use Run tag. But when I try to use it imperatively instead declaratively (because I need to do that dynamically) I have the text in TextBox like
AAA<Run...>Text to be changed in color</Run>
and sure nothing in color changes.
How can I change the color of some text in some program way?
Thanks
I'm fairly sure you have to use a RichTextBox for that, TextBox only works with plaintext.
Is there any way to do this in the Powerbuilder properties window for a datawindow's textbox?
That kind of depends on how you define "textbox", but in general the only way to mix normal and superscript text is with a richtext control. In PB 11.5, you can even use richtext as a column style.
Good luck,
Terry.
Yes. For the text control, you must select a font that has superscript characters (Arial does).
Go into the Windows Character Map (usually in the start menu under Accessories->System Tools) and select your font.
Then go to the superscript character that you want to place in your text control. Click it and then click the Select button to place it down in the character map text box.
Then click the Copy button.
Now you can return to PowerBuilder and paste this value into the properties window text area.
As long as the same font is selected for the DataWindow control as was selected in the character map it should show as your superscript character.
This same techinque can be done to include any of the Wingding type characters as well.
We ended up using two separate text fields. It's a butt-ugly solution, but it works. The superscript field has a smaller font and is nudged a little higher up.
I think newer PB versions support superscripts.
Thanks for the help.

If you go to the character map - when you select your character it will show the keys to enter this character on the bottom right of the window.
Example : in Arial font - the ® (registered) mark is Alt + 0174
To enter these, turn your numlock on, hold the alt key down, and type 0 1 7 & 4 then let up on the alt key. You have to use the number keys on the number pad to do this the ones on the top of the keyboard dont work.
You can then enter your characters directly or do something like this :
ls_key = '®'
Actually I stumbled across a simpler solution. I copied and pasted a portion of the text from a pdf into the text property of a datawindow text contol. The superscript character simply pasted in. So I'm guessing that Dougman's solution would work too.
Example:
"™Trademark used under..."
Note: I'm using PB 9.0.1
Thanks for all the help,
