Hi,
Is there a way to get selected text from a component such as TextArea? I am trying to provide search on selected text with a context menu.
Thanks a lot for developing this amazing platform.
Thanks,
Ali

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no built-in functionality to obtain selected text. But you can either extend the TextArea
component or write an extension for it.
I’ve prepared a demo project with two types of extensions: Regular GWT extension and JavaScript extension. Bear in mind that the first one requires the web-toolkit
module.
You can find the demo application in GitHub.
Also, take a look at the Vaadin extensions documentation:
