Re: How to insert text at cursor position?
Thanks Jacqueline, that's exactly what i was looking for.

You have a couple of choices. The easiest is to just turn off auto-hilite and substitute your own handlers. On mousedown, hilite the button, on mouseUp and mouseRelease, unhilite it. The second way is to use a local script variable to store the selectedchunk. When the button is released, reselect the stored chunk: local sStoredChunk on mouseDown put the selectedchunk into sStoredChunk end mouseDown on mouseUp select sStoredChunk end mouseUp on mouseRelease select sStoredChunk end mouseRelease ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

How to insert text at cursor position?
Hi, I'm trying to perform the following: There is a field in which the user can edit text. There are some buttons which should help him insert some text/code at the cursor position of that field. How do i do that? I looked at insert, cursor, selection, but none of these does the job. So, which command am i looking for, or which code snipped does this task?

Re: How to insert text at cursor position?
Actually, I find this very disturbing, since either of these expressions/commands would work in HyperCard; consequently, being very simple as they are, they should both work in Rev. I can understand complex deviations from HyperTalk, but not the basic, simple ones. What works in HyperTalk should work in RevTalk. Just my HO, but one of the reasons I've found Rev to be frustrating.
