Inline editor - How to select contents by default?

Post Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:07 pm

I'm new to YUI and can't figure out how to make the inline edit select the contents by default when it is activated. I am applying it to a new tree branch that is a text node by calling the editNode(); node function. The inline editor appears but because the contents aren't selected so I have to delete the existing contents before typing the new name in the box.

Is there a function I can all to highlight the contents of the inline editor box?
Code:
//Called from a keylistener
function key_test()
{
  var branch = new YAHOO.widget.TextNode({label: 'name', editable:true}, treeRoot, false);
  tree.render();
  branch.editNode();   //activate the inline editor to change the node name
}

Hello jono.

Did you give a look at Inline Editing of TreeView Node Labels example [1]?

It seems the content is selected by default.

Hope that helps,
IceBox

Hi IceBox,
Yes I saw this example and the inline editor appears with the contents selected when activated like this:

Code:
tree.subscribe('enterKeyPressed',tree.onEventEditNode)


However, when the inline is activated with a key listener like this, it doesn't work as expected. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Code:
var key_ctrlN = new YAHOO.util.KeyListener(document, { ctrl:true, keys:78 },
                                       { fn:key_test,
                                         scope:tree,
                                         correctScope:true } );
key_ctrlN.enable();

Hello jono.

The method fillEditorContainer [1] selects the text.

For a better explanation about that method you can read the topic "best approach for complex and huge forms using treeview" [2].

IceBox
