Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'd definitely prefer not to drop to
wx.
The SelectedText property doesn't work, because nothing is
selected. I want to inspect the text at the insertion point itself
during normal text input, so I can decide as each character is entered
whether or not to allow it. (SelectionStart and SelectionEnd just
return the same value as InsertionPosition, so they're not useful to me
either.)
Incidentally, I had hoped I could achieve a similar effect with
some sort of validation, but I can't figure out how to do that without
creating a bizObj and connecting the GUI to a database, and I'd rather
not drag in all that complexity. Is there a way to just specify a
function that validates data in a particular text field?
Thanks,
