I'm trying to script a special backspace script. As is the usual backspace behavior, I still want the char to the left of the flashing cursor to be deleted. Wherever that cursor happens to be.
But because the backscape key cannot get passed, it seemsI have to manually delete that character to the left of the flashing cursor (wherever the cursor happens to be). So, how do I find out in terms of relative character position (eg. char 275 of field x) where within a text field is the flashing cursor? Something like: on backspaceKey put the <<position of the flashing cursor>> in field x into tPos -- e.g. tPos = char 275 of field x delete char tPos of field x put the number of lines in field x into field "Nr of lines" end backspaceKey As you can see, the reason I'm interrupting the backspace key is to find out the number of lines in a field after a char is deleted. -- Nicolas Cueto _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
