In case you have subclassed it, you can catch the mouse movements
in the editor's callback procedure, under %WM_MOUSEMOVE, like this:

  SELECT CASE wMsg
    CASE %WM_MOUSEMOVE
      xPos& = LOWRD(lParam)
      yPos& = HIWRD(lParam)

If I'm not mistaken, you would have to subclass it.

I used DDT to make the richedit and i have it Call the Callback function, but it won't react to WM_MOUSEMOVE. What am i doing wrong?

Unfortunately, certain Windows controls do not pass all Windows messages to their callback functions. Certain messages are "trapped" by the control, and you never see them. In order to see them, you have to do something called sub-classing. It is the process of telling Windows to send all of a control's messages through your callback function before it processes them. It can really slow down an app, but sometimes Windows forces you to do it, when you need something unusual. I'm pretty sure that there is a sub-classing example in the Source Code forum...
