Published On: August 10, 2020
Below is a method that can be used to replace WR Backspace when replacing 4D Write with 4D Write Pro.
The method uses WP SET TEXT to "delete" the text by replacing the target with an empty string, it will also check first if the length of the range is greater than 0 characters, if not it will update the range to include the prior character.
| // Method: WP_Backspace C_OBJECT($1;$wpRange_o) If (Count parameters=1) $wpRange_o:=$1 If ($wpRange_o.start=$wpRange_o.end) If ($wpRange_o.start#0) $wpRange_o:=WP Text range($wpRange_o.start-1;$wpRange_o.end) End if End if WP SET TEXT($wpRange_o;"";wk replace) End if |
An example of using the method:
| C_OBJECT($wpSel_o) $wpSel_o:=WP Selection range(WParea) WP_Backspace($wpSel_o) |
