Re: Location of the insertion point in a field
How do I find out where the insertion point is? You use the selectedChunk function to find out the location of the insertion point. When there is an insertion point but no text is selected, the selectedChunk function returns an expression of the form char nextChar to prevChar of field fieldNumber. For example, if the insertion point is in field 3, between character 10 and character 11, the selectedChunk function returns char 11 to 10 of field 3. How do I place the insertion point in a field? You use the select command to place the insertion point in a field. If you use the select command with the before or after keyword, it places the insertion point at the location you specify. The following examples show how to place an insertion point at various points in a field's text: select before text of field "My Field" -- at start of text select after text of field ID 3452 -- at end of text select before line 3 of field 1 -- start of line 3 select after char 22 of field 5 -- between char 22 and 23 On Mar 20, 2005, at 8:02 PM, Mikey wrote: Well, I tried searching the docs.
