Caret placement on Android vs iOS

Post by whisper1980 »

Using your Editor2 as an example, if I deploy it to Android, I can tap on a word and the caret is placed within the word where I tapped. However, on iOS it places the caret either at the start or end of the word I tapped on, depending on which side portion of the word I tapped on. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but certainly inconsistent.

It is intentional. TRIchViewEdit mimics TEdit and TMemo behavior. They, as I understand it, mimic the behavior of standard editors for the platform.

OK, that's cool. Now I know how to respond to customers who might bring it up like I did. :)
