Is there a function in dearpygui that extracts the exact selection from a text input widget?

471 views Asked by At

So i have this app that consists of a text area and a button. I can edit the text text Area, select the exact text with mouse and click the button that extracts the text and processes it.

Here's a snip using tkinter library -

textEdit = scrolledtext.ScrolledText ( master = self.root) # declaration
..... 
str_text = textEdit.selection_get()  ##extracting the exact text that's selected

With dearpy gui , I have below code snip.

textEdit = dpg.add_input_text(tag= 'textEdit',multiline= True)   #declaration
.....
str_text = dpg.get_value ('textEdit')    #extracting the exact text that's selected 

The only problem is it doesn't give the selection, rather the whole text inside the text area. Is there any trick that can help my problem?
