"Select All" in RevBrowser or Simulate Control+A

[Marcus Lindley]

This does work, mostly, but not exactly in the manner I was hoping.  I did discover, however, that I can achieve exactly what I want by clicking anywhere in the stack (not in the browser instance) and using the control+A keys - the windows command for "select all".  Now, if I was able to emulate a keydown ControlKey + "A" or some such thing, I might be able to select the whole browser contents without using any keys. Simulate a click and keydown events are two different things though.  I could not figure out how to use the "Type" command to emulate what I
am trying to do here.

any thoughts?

i Marcus,

I don't think this is possible, but you can create a "copy all text"  
feature.

on copyAllText theBrowserInstance
   put revBrowserGet(theBrowserInstance,"htmlText") into myHtml
   set the htmlText of fld "Hidden Field" to myHtml
   set the clipboardData["text"] to fld "Hidden Field"
end copyAllText

Untested, should work. You might want to add some code to remove img  
tags and other unnecessary stuff, before you set the htmlText of the  
field.

Best,

Mark
