Hello everybody,

I have found a code for selecting text from a canvas.
The code works fine, only there are 2 features in it
that I don't want. And that's the Shift and Ctrl-functions.
For example: when the user holds down the Shift-button
he can select multiple area's etc...

Can someone tell me which lines to delete to get ride off
these features?

Thank you in advanced...

This is the code:

(*---------------------------------------*)
procedure TForm1.ScrImage1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
c, r, i, j: Integer;
begin
AnchorX := X;
CurX := X;
AnchorY := Y;
CurY := Y;
Bounding := True;
c := (x + FontWidthPix) div FontWidthPix;
r := (y + FontHeightPix) div FontHeightPix;
if (c <= SCRCOLS) and (r <= SCRROWS) then
begin
DispCell(CsrCol, CsrRow, true);
CsrCol := c;
CsrRow := r;
DrawCursor(CsrCol, CsrRow);
// ShowStatus ;
end;
if Button = mbLeft then
if not (ssCtrl in Shift) then
for i := 1 to SCRROWS do
for j := 1 to SCRCOLS do begin
ScrBuf[i, j].Hilite := Char(chDefault);
DispCell(j, i, false);
end;
end;
(*-------------------------------------*)
procedure TForm1.ScrImage1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
Y: Integer);
var
i, j, xpos, ypos: Integer;
r: TRect;
begin
if Bounding then
begin
r := Rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
if (X < AnchorX) then begin
r.Left := X;
r.Right := AnchorX;
end
else begin
r.Left := AnchorX;
r.Right := X;
end;
if (Y < AnchorY) then begin
r.Top := Y;
r.Bottom := AnchorY;
end
else begin
r.Top := AnchorY;
r.Bottom := Y;
end;
for i := 1 to SCRROWS do
for j := 1 to SCRCOLS do begin
xpos := (j * FontWidthPix) - (FontWidthPix div 2);
ypos := (i * FontHeightPix) - (FontHeightPix div 2);
if PtInRect(r, Point(xpos, ypos)) then begin
if ScrBuf[i, j].Data = '' then
ScrBuf[i, j].Data := ' ';
if not (ssShift in Shift) then
ScrBuf[i, j].Hilite := Char(chReverse)
else
ScrBuf[i, j].Hilite := Char(chDEfault);
DispCell(j, i, false);
end;
end;
CurX := X;
CurY := Y;
end;
end;
(*------------------------------------------*)
procedure TForm1.ScrImage1MouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
if Bounding then
begin
Bounding := False;
CurX := X;
CurY := Y;
end;
end;
(*------------------------------------------*)
end.

Greetings,

i must admit that i don't understand 100% your code, but take a look at variable
Shift: TShiftState

i can not tell you which lines should be deleted. and i'm not sure about
what you try to accomplish. you want to handle the selection of your canvas
objects or you want to handle the selection inside those 2 objects
