Make a TMemo.seltext modification cancellable by the user

[FabDev 6]

Hello,

 

On a basic TMemo (or any TEdit) Undo work by default when the end user modify something.

Problem if you change something by code like a simple :
 

Memo1.Seltext:='Bob';

 

After this Undo (CTRL + Z ) will not work for the user. If he want to cancel my "Bob".

So how to force a modification by code to be in Undo stack ?

It is an easy to debug. You have to set the CanUndoSelText property to true.

I did not know this CanUndoSelText method, but It's exactly that I need.

Thank you very much !

It was introduced recently. Delphi XE5 does not have it yet.

It was added in 11.0 Alexandria.

Smaller Changes

• SetSelText and SetSelTextBuf offer the option not to reset the Undo buffer.

• This is managed by a new property CanUndoSelText. It is False by default, which maintains backwards compatibility. If set to True it allows Undo to be called (or an Undo operation to be invoked with the UI) to undo a change made with calls to SetSelText or SetSelTextBuf or by assignments to the SelText property.
