Delete doesn't fire OnClientSelectionChange

[QualiWareUA]

I'm using OnClientSelectionChange event to enable/disable custom tool buttons. It works fine with one exception: when I select some piece of text in editor and press "Delete" key - selected text is deleted but OnClientSelectionChange event is not fired. The same is with "Backspace" key.

Described behaviour can be reproduced using http://soforealproductions.se/ajax/Editor/Examples/ClientsideEvents/DefaultVB.aspx sample. Select some text, press "Delete" and inspect the content of The current selection is field which is updated by OnClientSelectionChange event handler.

P.S. My browser is IE7.

Hi Valeriy,

I was not able to reproduce the reported problem. I just replaced the getSelectionHtml method with get_html(true) in the OnClientSelectionChange function

function OnClientSelectionChange(editor, args)
{
   contentViewer.innerHTML = editor.get_html(true);
}

and I verified that the Delete and BackSpace keys events are fired when the OnClientSelectionChange event is executed. You can see my test in the attached video. Am I missing something?

Hi Rumen,

Thank you for quick reply.
You are right, Delete and Backspace keys fires OnClientSelectionChange events but only when there is no text selected. If I select some text and then press Delete, Backspace or other key generating printable character (i.e. that replace selected text with some character) - event is not fired.

I'll try to use OnKeyDown event to track selection changes more precisely in addition to OnClientSelectionChange.

Solved my problem using OnKeyUp event. OnKeyDown turned out to be not suitable because it occurs before selection changes in editor.
In addition I used editor.get_toolAdapter().get_toolbarHolder().set_show method to register event handler that updates toolbar button state when editor gets focus because toolbar mode is set to "ShowOnFocus" and toolbar is created when editor gets focus for the first time.
