Hi Murad Jamal,
Here is the script codings which maintains the cursor position in the global
variable.The cursor position can be obtained by the calling function
GetCursorPos() in the click event of the TextBox.
globalCursorPos: It is used to maintain the current cursor position.
lastCursorPos: It is used to maintain the last cursor position.
Script:
var lastCursorPos;
var globalCursorPos=0;
function select1()
{
var selectedHtml=(document.selection.createRange()).ht mlText;
if(selectedHtml!= "")
{
window.clipboardData.setData("Text",selectedHtml);
var clipboardData= window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
var sourceText=document.getElementById("Text1").value;
var
newText=sourceText.substring(0,lastCursorPos)+clip boardData+sourceText.substring(lastCursorPos);
document.getElementById("Text1").innerText=" ";
document.getElementById("Text1").innerText=newText ;
}
}
function GetCursorPostion()
{
lastCursorPos=globalCursorPos;
globalCursorPos = getCursorPosition();
}
function getCursorPosition()
{
var obj = document.activeElement;
var cur = document.selection.createRange();
var pos = 0;
if (obj && cur)
{
var tr = obj.createTextRange();
if (tr)
{
while (cur.compareEndPoints("StartToStart", tr) > 0)
{
tr.moveStart("character", 1);
pos++;
}
return pos;
}
}
return -1;
}
HTML
<input id="Text1" style="position: relative; width: 672px; height: 90px;"
type="text" value="We are a leading provider of software components and
tools for the Microsoft .NET platform. - www.syncfusion.com"
onclick="GetCursorPostion();"/></div>
<input id="Button1" style="position: relative" type="button" value="button"
