[Gambas-user] Extracting text from the html of TextEdit control

[richard terry]

Given that this is a qt control, is it just that the property has not been 
exposed in Gambas?

I guess a workaround is possible but tedious - e.g stripping out all the html 
code except text, doing something and re-constituting.

I've mucked around a bit with it and I can read keywords and use them to 
trigger  popping up something else like list or picture box with say diagrams 
on it, select one, then post the html back to the control and embed the 
picture - that's fairly easy, though obviously I cant re-retrieve the 
embedded picture.

Hopefully someone else will know.

Problem is with this sort of stuff is thay it is effective a "show stopper", 
ie if you can't do it, and your app needs a degree of sophistication, then it 
is pointless proceeding.

Regards

Richard
