You're enumerating Word's windows and calling GetCaretPos on its text view? Mac OS X does not let you do that. The closest you can get is through the Accessibility framework: apps expose an object hierarchy to the accessibility system that other apps can use to manipulate the user interface. However, this is optional both from the app developer's point of view as well as that of the user (the user needs to turn on access for assistive devices). IIRC, Word 2011 re-instated VBA support. Perhaps you can use this interface to accomplish your goals? --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
