Added getSelection for native.textField #603

Closed DimaUndSo closed 1 year ago

DimaUndSo commented 1 year ago

I was working on a custom pixel art textfield for our game and needed a function that can return the current position of the cursor/selector of a native.textField. There is a function "setSelection" with which you can set the cursor to a position, but sometimes you just need to know the current position/selection. So I added the function getSelection below the setSelection function for ios, android, mac and windows. I've tested all platforms. I also added support for setSelection for macOs Simulator. There was a Warning before that it's not supported, now it is.

That's how you use it: local start, finish = myNativeTextField:getSelection() This will return you the cursors/selectors first and last position.

Hope you like it and can add this to a daily build soon, so I can normally use it in our game. Thanks

@DimaUndSo does this also work for TextBox? I see you've also made changes to text box code but you haven't mentioned it in your description.
