Selecting a word with touchscreen‏
 

Hi , im using pymaemo on n900, i made an app that works as a
dictionary you write a word and then it prints the text from a data
base, now i would like to select one word with the touch screen and it
automatically looks for that word in the data base withoud writing the
word.

I have 2 questions related to this:

Does textview has any callback when i select a word? i need that word
selected, for example print it in the screen , is that possible?



my second question is :

the following code works fine on linux but not on maemo why is that?

mark = self.textbuffer.get_selection_bounds()
if mark:
start, end = mark
contents = self.textbuffer.get_text(start, end)
print "Selection", contents


how can i select a text with the touchsreen and use that text?



thanks


Sebastiano
