Usual techinique would be to use GetTextExtentExPointW and create a nice
array of all the offsets of the character glyphs drawn. Then with a suitably
munged mouse or click position you work along until you find the glyph that
matches the position your interested in.
GetTextExtentExPointW is a nice function that can take account of kerning,
fractional glyph sizes and all the other wierdness that can occur when you
do serious Unicode stuff in Windows.
Cheers, Max.
