Hi list, if I remember correctly, there was some trouble to find out what character is under the mouse cursor, and therefore moving the text cursor to the current mouse cursor's position was introduced.
While checking out the perl module Win32::GUI, I stumbled upon the message EM_CHARFROMPOS, which seems to solve that problem. Given (x,y)-coordinates, it returns a zero-based character index to the character that is at that position. Google found more information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/editcontrols/editcontrolreference/editcontrolmessages/em_charfrompos.asp Hope this helps!
