How to get programmatically highlighted glyph in the space center

[RafaŁ Buchner]

Hey,
Is anyone able to help me? I'm trying to get programmatically two things in the CurrentSpaceCenter:

1. input textbox object (more precisely, the cursor position in the object)
2. highlighted glyph in the main space center view

Best,
R

maybe you have to explain what you want to achieve...

A space center object has getRaw which returns the input text as seen in the control and get which returns a list of glyph names, those are parsed from the input controls.

@gferreira said in How to get programmatically highlighted glyph in the space center:

(don’t know how to get the cursor position)

I think I will be able to figure it out. I will post it here when I will do it

Thanks a lot again!

hello @RafaŁ-Buchner,

1. input textbox object (more precisely, the cursor position in the object)

the input text is available from the SpaceCenter object in different forms:

from mojo.UI import CurrentSpaceCenter
S = CurrentSpaceCenter()
print(S.getRaw()) # returns the input string 
print(S.get()) # returns a list of glyph names
print(S.glyphRecords) # returns a list of GlyphRecords

and here’s how you can get to the input field object:

print(S.top.glyphLineInput)

(don’t know how to get the cursor position)

2. highlighted glyph in the main space center view

print(S.glyphLineView.getSelected()) # returns the selected glyph as a glyph object

cheers!

ps. there’s also this:

print(S.glyphLineView.getSelection()) # returns the index of the selected glyph
