Hello,

I was wondering if it’s possible to have 2 selection simultaneously. Let me explain. I wanna be able select a piece of text within a textfield and have that selection-square displayed also on another textfield, using the Selection.getBeginIndex() and EndIndex();

ie. I select the 1st 5 characters of my textfield 1 and i have then the 1st 5 characters of my textfield 2 selected simultaneously.

Possible?
