For reasons I won't go into, I need a function like: ClickWord which
will return something like:
Word 2 of line 3 of field 4
It would be something like "ClickLine" only it returns the word
number as well. ClickChunk is close but no cigar.
Seems like this would be a natural for RunRev, but I have forgotten
how to make the enhancement request.
Anybody? Where is the RunRev web site?

P.S.
My kludge of this looks like:
function theClickWord
-- this function returns: word tWordNo of line tLineNo of field
tFieldNo
put the clickLine into tClickLine
put word 2 of tClickline into tLineNo
put last word of tClickLine into tFieldNo
put the value of tClickLine into tLineText
put the clickText into tWord
put wordoffset(tWord,tLineText) into tWordNo
--Just to see how it might look if implemented in RunRev
put "word " & tWordNo & " of line " & tLineNo & " of field "&
tFieldNo into msg box
return tWordNo, tLineNo, tFieldNo
end theClickWord
The website for reporting bugs and enhancements is
<http://www.runrev.com/support/quality-control-center/> or
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/>
I second you enhancement request.
Your "kludge"-solution is surely one of the best you can come up with in
Revolution. The only problem you could encounter is the case when the
text of the line contains more than one instance of the word, because
wordoffset always finds the *first* instance of the word and not
necessarily the word you clicked at.
In a related context - getting the wordnumber of a clicked-at word in a
field and at the same time hilite the clicked word - I have found the
following solution:
Script of the text field:
on mouseUp
Global gchunk, gtext
put the mousechunk into gchunk
put the mousetext into gtext
send "mouseup" to btn "wordoffset"
end mouseUp
Script of btn "wordoffset":
on mouseUp
Global gchunk, gtext
put fld 1 into tField
put tfield into tfield2
put word 2 of gchunk into tBegin
put "#" before char tBegin of Tfield2
put "#" before gtext
put wordoffset(gtext,tfield2) into tword
put "word" &&tword&&"in field 1" into fld "wordnumber"
set the traversalon of fld 1 to true
select word tword of fld 1
end mouseUp
