Availability of API to get selected text

[Loic Chotin]

In the Blazor RichTextEditor control, I need to get the contents, both formatted and plain-text, of the current selection. The Blazor RTE doesn't have this API, but I can see that the API does exist in the plain JS RTE. So the question would be - do you plan to expose this API in the Blazor RTE? Also, I assume that the Blazor RTE is just wrapping the JS one. If that's the case, could you advise on steps to manually invoke this API from outside the wrapper? Thank you!

Hi Loic, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

  

In your query shared our documentation link is explain the EJ1 RichTextEditor control functionality. But in Blazor, we used EJ2 pure javascript source to render the RTE component. We have GetSelection() public method in RichTextEditor component to get the plain text from the current selection range in the editor.

Currently, we doesn’t have methods to get the formatted text from the selection range. We will consider “Provide option to get the formatted text from the current selection in RichTextEditor” as improvement from our end.  This changes  will be included in our 2019 Volume 4 SP1 which is tentatively planned to roll-out around end of January 2020.
