Selecting text in non-focused field

[Brian Milby]

Are you meaning that you need to highlight text found in another field?  Easiest way to describe what I’m referring to is the LC dictionary.  If you type a term in the search box, the matches are highlighted yellow where they are found (syntax and synonym fields).  Implementation would be completely different since the dictionary is coded in JavaScript.

But, if that is what you are needing, then setting the style of the found chunks should give what you need (subject to the potential issue of performance).

Thanks,
Brian
