CTextView:AttachFromList
The AttachFromList method creates a new CTextView object attached to a text editor window on the Mira desktop. The script can then collect data from the text editor and change its contents. This function requires the user to select the target window from a list of all text editor windows on the desktop. This function does not use an existing CTextView object. Also see the equivalent non-class function attachlist_textview.
The related attach_textview function attaches the top-most text editor window.
CTextView_obj = CTextView:AttachFromList() |
On success, a new CTextView class object is returned.
On failure, nil is returned. This usually means no text editor window is shown on the Mira desktop.
This function collects all text editor windows on the Mira desktop into a list, then displays them in a window where the target text editor window is selected. The selected text editor window is returned as a new CTextView object.
Assume that several text editor windows are displayed on the Mira desktop along with other windows. The following script attaches one of the text editor windows to the script:
|
-- select the target text editor window |
|
-- if not successful, exit the script |
|
-- print the title of the attached window |
