Hi list,
Is there a way to know the x,y position of the mousechunk,
especially when the content of a field is not just plain
text, but HTMLtext with more that 1 line ?
For the x value, I tried to use the formattedwidth of the
portion of text given by the mousechunk.
And for the y value, I tried a combination of the font
size, the line height and the top field margin.
But there are exceptions that don't return accurate values...
Thank you in advance.
Best,
jbv

I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to do but you can get
the formattedRect of chunks in the field:
on mouseMove
if the mouseChunk is not empty then
put the formattedRect of the mouseChunk into field "Rect"
end if
end mouseMove
So you could take the middle point of the rect as the x,y location?
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
