Thank you for the suggestion.
But I have some HTMLtext inside flds inside groups inside a main group
and the structure seems to be too complex to catch the selectedloc
properly.
But nevermind, I found a workaround that works quite fast.

Will the top left position do?
select the mousechunk
get the selectedloc
select empty
The highlighting happens too fast to see.

Hi list,
Is there a way to know the x,y position of the mousechunk,
especially when the content of a field is not just plain
text, but HTMLtext with more that 1 line ?
For the x value, I tried to use the formattedwidth of the
portion of text given by the mousechunk.
And for the y value, I tried a combination of the font
size, the line height and the top field margin.
But there are exceptions that don't return accurate values...
Thank you in advance.
Best,
jbv
