Hi Adrian I don't fully understand what you're asking but you can check the cursor location with the selectedchunk property. eg. the following field script might be a starting point for replacing your before char:
on keydown put word 4 of the selectedchunk of me into beforecharpos put Lookupchar(char beforecharpos of me) into newbeforechar put newbeforechar into char beforecharpos of me pass keydown end keydown regards Martin On 01/10/06, Adrian Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm new to Revolution (using 2.7.3 trial on Mac OS X) and want to create both Mac+Win programs of the solution. In a text field I want the User to enter text. The useUnicode will be set to true for a double-byte font which will be developed with special characters. (Although I want to test this with any single-byte first). As the User types each letter from the keyboard I need the program to: 1. check which (if any) letters are BEFORE the cursor/insertion point 2. check which (if any) letters are AFTER the cursor/insertion point 3. REPLACE beforeCharacter, enteredCharacter and afterCharacter from a table that has been prepared in advance. For example, as the User enters text; ABCDE is entered but needs to be replaced with additional characters - AggBhhC Once entered, it may need to be corrected; AggBhhC is already on-screen. User places insertion point somewhere in the word and begins entering more text, which again, must refer to the table for replacement. I've looked at the relevant ways I think it should be done but as I'm completely new to Rev, this is just beyond my scope at the moment. A starting point would be very helpful if anyone can assist?
