Title: RE: Finding Cursor Position in a Field

For those who have this problem, try downloading from http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk/downloads/xBusTimeTest.zip

A few further thoughts for enhancements – rather than just typing in at the cursor position, you could add some extra Sendkeys commands, like Ctrl-X, <b>, Ctrl-V, </b> to copy highlighted text and surround it by the tags. (ctrl-X is ^X, Ctrl-V is ^V). I’ve just added this to the zip file.

Hi Norm

You could use OLE and Send Keys to achieve this I think. Attached is a small def file to demonstrate this (the form is one I use to test Business Time Calculations, so that might be useful to you too I hope).

Import the def file, type some text into the character field, place the cursor somewhere in the text, then click the menu Item Bold (or type Alt-B) and it should insert <B> at the cursor. You need to use a menu item otherwise focus moves away from the character field and you lose the cursor position.
