[Lazarus] TEdit: Find character at caret position

2015-08-02 Thread Jürgen Hestermann 

In a TEdit component, how do I find out which character is at the caret/cursor 
position?
Or in other words: At which (string) position will the next typed character be 
inserted?
I want to insert text at just that position myself but cannot find out where 
this (character) position would be.

Any help appreciated.

Edit1.SelStart gives the character position of the caret/cursor. The 
next typed character is inserted at Succ(Edit1.SelStart).
