CSS color not working on InLineCssTextArea about richtextfx

[TomasMikula]

Hi Maher,

yes, this does not work in InlineCssTextArea (or any other flavor of StyledTextArea), frankly because it's not implemented. The way it is implemented in TextArea doesn't translate to StyledTextArea, because we want to be able to set text color per range, not per the whole text area.

You can set the color of a range of text like this

area.setStyle(from, to, "-fx-fill: red;");

If you want to set a default text color for all text where the color is not given explicitly by the above method, you can do so by including the following in your application stylesheet:

.styled-text-area .text {
    -fx-fill: purple;
}

Hi Thomas thanks for explaining. this makes sense. the reason why I just
tested it with a whole text for now was that I did not get to the point
where i implemented ranges yet. I spent the time rethinking the procedures
I used to have in my previous prototype. I'm almost there and should get
started on ranges soon.
I'll report back if I encounter other issues
Best regards
Maher

Hi Thomas,
Inline CSS does not seem to be working on ranges for me.

I did some debugging and noticed that
1 - getSelectedText() and getText() returned empty strings.

2 - range.getEnd() and range.getStart() both return 0.

Is this working for you?
Thanks,
Maher

Hi Maher, can you post a simple self-contained example that demonstrates the issue?
The ManualHighlighting example (gradle ManualHighlighting to run) uses getSelection().getStart()/getEnd() and it works fine.

Hi Thomas, let see how to factor the code and post back.
Best

Hi @TomasMikula , i have two queries.

1. How to set different styles to words in same paragraph or line of GenericStyledArea ? I am doing it like this ....

   area.setStyle(area.getText().lastIndexOf(text), area.getText().length(), TextStyle.EMPTY.updateTextColor(color));
   This works only for first word, but when i append the second word with different style like

   area.setStyle(area.getText().lastIndexOf(text), area.getText().length(), TextStyle.EMPTY.updateTextColor(color).updateBold(true);

It also changes the style of first text. Now how to do it ?

2. How to add different objects in same GenericStyledArea . What i mean to say is if i define the area like this
   final GenericStyledArea<ParStyle, Either<StyledText<TextStyle>, LinkedImage<TextStyle>>, TextStyle> area .
   I can insert only LinkedImage objects into this. But if i have to add lets say an Text or Hyperlink Object then how to do it. I can manage the hyperlink with styling as you explained in some pull request but if i have to add Hyperlink and I mage in area then how to do it ?

Thank you.
