CONTROL ADD TEXT

[Matthias Hoffmann]

I need a simple way to retrieve and set the caret position
(good old LOCATE!), not the x/y coordinates, but the according
character position (index)!!!
In Addition I want to know if its possible to toggle the INSERT
state for changing from insert- to overwrite-mode.
Thanx

i assume you are referring to a textbox and/or a richedit control?

i'm not at my dev pc right now, but if you search the win32.hlp file from http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/mstools/win32.zip for "edit messages" you should come across quite a few that will help you. for example: %em_charfrompos, %em_getsel, %em_linefromchar, %em_posfromchar, etc.

also, check out the encapsulation routines the dave navarro posted into the source code forum http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=22575

to check or change the "state" of keyboard keys, check out getkeyoardstate() and setkeyboardstate(). also see http://support.microsoft.com/support...s/q94/6/06.asp
