Have you ever used the DevExtreme tag box and wondered why you couldn't select the text within the tags? Well, fret no more! In this article, we will show you how to enable text selection of the tags in the DevExtreme tag box, so you can easily copy and paste them wherever you need.
By default, the DevExtreme tag box does not allow text selection within the tags. This can be frustrating, especially when you want to copy a specific tag or its contents. But fear not, there is a simple solution to this problem.
To enable text selection of the tags in the DevExtreme tag box, you need to add a few lines of code to your application. First, make sure you have the latest version of DevExtreme installed. Then, follow these steps:
- Open your HTML file or template where the DevExtreme tag box is used.
- Locate the tag box element and add the
contenteditable="true"attribute to it. This attribute allows the text within the element to be selected. - Save the file and refresh your application.
That's it! Now you can select the text within the tags in the DevExtreme tag box. You can easily copy and paste the tags or their contents wherever you need.
But wait, there's more! You can also customize the appearance of the selected text within the tags. By default, the selected text is highlighted with a blue background color. If you want to change this, you can use CSS to style the selected text. For example, you can add the following CSS code to your application:
.tag-box .dx-tag .dx-tag-content\[contenteditable="true"\]:focus::selection { background-color: yellow; }
This CSS code will change the background color of the selected text to yellow. Feel free to experiment with different colors and styles to match your application's design.
So there you have it! With just a few lines of code, you can enable text selection of the tags in the DevExtreme tag box. Now you can easily copy and paste tags or their contents without any hassle. Happy coding!
