Title: RE: Finding Cursor Position in a Field

** Hi Norm   Using a menu on the field set to append is even easier to do.  I was using a toolbar menu and OLE, but your way seems to work too.   Remedy – seven different ways to skin a cat   Regards   David Sanders Remedy Solution Architect Enterprise Service Suite @ Work ========================== ARS List Award Winner 2005 Best 3rd party Remedy Application   tel +44 1494 468980 mobile +44 7710 377761 email [EMAIL PROTECTED]   web http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CG/SCWOE Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 6:02 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Finding Cursor Position in a Field   As the Guiness beer guys would say: "BRILLIANT!"   Just use a menu with the APPEND feature turned on! Duh! Thanks, Dave...why didn't I think of that?   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of David Sanders Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 11:42 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Finding Cursor Position in a Field   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.   HTH   David Sanders Remedy Solution Architect Enterprise Service Suite @ Work ========================== ARS List Award Winner 2005 Best 3rd party Remedy Application   tel +44 1494 468980 mobile +44 7710 377761 email [EMAIL PROTECTED]   web http://www.westoverconsulting.co.uk     __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ ************ EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE MAIL ALERT ************ The original file attachment has been deleted by the Eglin Mail Filter.
