I'm looking for the location of the formatted line, or its coordinates
relative the field, so that I can place a graphic (an underline or
somesuch) under the text of that formatted line. This has to be
derived from the mouse position relative to the formatted line position
as this graphic will move based on where the mouse is.
Imagine a younger child reading a book with a strip of guide paper
which she slides down the page to help with focus. That's the idea.
The mouseline would give the information needed, except that the text
wraps, thus the need for the formatted mouse line. Tracking the
mouseloc would work, except the user has to be able to click on
hypertext in the lines and move the mouse horizontally without it
graphic underline following it and wiggling around. Does this make
sense?
The field becomes scrolling only when its formatted contents exceed its
height, which is rarely.
Thanks for your interest,
Mark

Do you want the formatted text under the mouse or do you want the line
number of that text? I am sure it is possible. Tell me what you need,
I'll take up the challenge ;-) Are you using a scrolling field?

Is it possible to somehow return "the _formatted_ mouseline" from

What I want to accomplish is to have a line of text (soft wrapped)
appear to be underlined whenever the mouse is hovering over it. I'd
just like to have a simple line graphic move to a position just under
the text to accomplish this.
I've thought of a couple of ways to make it happen, but they seem
unnecessarily convoluted, and it seems there might be a
straightforward way to accomplish it that I'm missing.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
