Turn off the 'traversalOn' property for the button. When you click it it's
getting the focus and removing it from the field before you can get the
selectedChunk.

perhaps you are defeating your selection by clicking a button or using the
message box
this works from the multi-line message box:

Hola Stephen,
Thanks for this, but: Yes I have a blinking cursor and YES this
(Selectedchunk) works perfect with the same text-field and another button.
It is really 1:1
Must be something else
Kind regards

perhaps you haven't selected a chunk of text in a field? If your field has a
blinking cursor but no selection, that would make the selectedChunk empty,
no?

Is there a reason, why selectedChunk is always empty???
using 1 field, place the cursor there and then I klick on a button with this
script:

Bonjour,
Not sure I have well understand your need, but does the following help:

put the selection

You can work out exactly what you want if you realize that the result
of "the selectedChunk" is always char to

not empty:

So if its NOT just an insertion point then
the number of words of char 1 to (word 2 of the selectedchunk) of field

will give the number of words preceeding the selection?
So this whole thing could boil down to

Yeah, I guess I'm not being too clear here. Thanks for the tip-- I didn't

I was going to respond but I'm not sure I understand what you are trying
to do. But maybe this will help: you can get the selectedchunk of a
particular field like so:

Is that what you mean?

I have a script that uses the selectedchunk to locate the cursor in
a field so that it can add some text at the cursor location. This
works fine in a standalone under Mac OS 9. However, it totally fails
in a Windows standalone.
To test this out, I added an "answer" dialog to tell m
ected and hence no selectedChunk.

Is there something special about the
selectedChunk under Windows? I have a stack where
the user clicks on a word (or a sequence of
words) in a locked field, and then on a button to
have a given handler operate on the selection.
The problem is that the selectedChunk seems to
get lost
arget into myChar
put mychar into the selectedChunk
end mouseUp
This works like a charm in OSX, rev 2.01. However, in OS 9, I
constantly get an error message, indicating it can't find the
selectedChunk. I am unable to insert the character at the cursor point
in the field in the main stack.
I'd like to insert some html on both sides of the selected text in a
field.
"put "" before the selectedchunk" works, but..
put "" after the selectedchunk still inserts it before. How do I get
it after the selected text?
thanks,
/Niklas
