Asked On February 9, 2019 06:40 AM UTC

Morning - 

  1. how can I programatically tell if the user can select text (ie the document will yield text if the user attempts to select text)?
  2. how can I disable - enable when a user is permitted to select text using the mouse (and thereby prevent highlighting it if disabled) ?
  3. how can I programatically get the text selected by the user outside of the TextSelectionCompleted event?
  4. how can I programatically reset the text selected by the user (ie unhighlight and clear selection)?
  5. how can I programatically replace the contextmenu that shows when the user selects text (I know I can use EnableContextMenu to hide the built in context menu - but I want to replace it and implement my own copy method)?
Would be grateful for a prompt response to these queries.

Regards

Darrin

At present PdfViewer does not support disabling text selection and to reset the selected text programmatically. We have logged feature report for the requirement and it will included in any of our upcoming releases.
