------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 12 16:39:51 +0000 2008 ------- 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).
