Hello,

I would be happy to explain.

In the assisitive technology world there is Active Accessibility but there is 
also just plain simple Windows API calls that can make your app more 
accessible.

If you are using your own (or third party) text editor the problem is that it 
may not be setting the caret position that windows knows about.  The api call 
is SetCaretPos( x, y ); which is what your software, not mine, would call.  

My software would then be able to call GetCaretPos and know where the caret is 
in your app.  Some API experts might say "but you can't know the caret 
position of another app" which is true, in general, but under special 
circumstances another app CAN get that information.  Our software does it all 
the time with no problem from windows 3.1 to windows vista.

Another way is to implement the IAccessible interface which is COM.  There you 
would expose the caret position as well. 

Currently, however, my software does not use the IAccessible interface in all 
of our products (some do as they are newer and Active Accessibility while not 
new is now well defined and less buggy).

So I guess what I was asking for was if it would be possible to throw in the 
SetCaretPos( x, y ) every time you move the caret in the editor (or in any of 
the OOo products).

Thanks,

Kevin
