I have a field in which the itemDelimiter is numToChar(255) instead

the same item.

Items can always have paragraphs in them. Items don't end until either the next item delimiter is encountered or the text runs out. If the itemDelimiter isn't a return character, then many paragraphs can be part of the same item.


How can I get the item number when a user clicks on the field? The clickLine correctly returns the line number but that doesn't tell me
what item it is. What I want is a clickItem function which doesn't
exist (or at least I can't find it).

Like this:


  get the clickChunk
  set the itemdelimiter to numToChar(255)
  put the number of items in char 1 to (word 2 of it) of fld <fldName>

Note that the clickChunk will return 0 if the user clicks in the empty space after the text.

Items don't end at a return character, they only end when the text runs out or another delimiter is returns become part of the item they are in. So this should work fine.
