Getting marked Text inside a cell

Hello

In a grid i have a cell (col type: ‘txt’). If i edit this cell i want to mark some text and later make it bold, italic, underlined …
I have all buttons in my Toolbar and with pressing them i would like to change the marked text and put the specified expression around it.

Example:
Text = “This is a test”
marked = “a test”
result after pressing the bold button should be = “This is a Test

How can i get the selected text from the cell?

Thank you and best regards

You may use the following solution to get the input of the cell editor:

<input type="button" onclick="(arguments[0]||window.event).cancelBubble=true;foo()" value="push"> ... var inp ... mygrid.attachEvent("onEditCell", function(stage,rId,cInd,nValue,oValue){ if(stage==1 && mygrid.editor && mygrid.editor.obj){ inp=this.editor.obj } return true }); function foo(){ console.log(inp); }
In case of working with the html input selection: the question is not covered by dhtmlxgrid and depends on using libraries and supported browsers. Some solutions can be found here:

Thank you

I tried a little bit and got a perfect solution :slight_smile:
