Hi,
with mGet:OnKeyDown() (using oGet:GetCol()) I can read the position of the cursor before the usage of the key is being handled. Now I need to know the position of the cursor after the key is being used.
To explain: I've got a mget field and want to display the actual position of the cursor. With OnKeydown I get the position where the cursor was before I pressed a key.
Maybe someone has got an idea?
Thanks in advance.
to make what ?

This problem isn't solved yet...
Maybe someone an idea?
Have you tried oGet:nPos?

Have you tried bKeydown?
Can you provide a small self contained test program?
Regards,

#include "fivewin.ch"
function main()
local oDlg, omGet, oGet
local cGet := 0
local cmGet := "Testing 1"+CRLF+"Testing 2"
  DEFINE DIALOG oDlg FROM 5, 5 TO 30, 44 TITLE "Cursor Position Test"
    @ 1,1 GET oGET VAR cGet OF oDlg SIZE 25,10 //DISABLED
    @ 3,1 GET omGet VAR cmGet OF oDlg SIZE 140,140 MULTILINE
    oGet:Disable()
    //omGet:bKeyDown := {|| oGet:cText := omGet:GetCol()}
    omGet:OnKeyDown := {|| oGet:cText := omGet:GetCol()}
  ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg
return .t.Gilbert,
Please try it this way:
oGet:OnKeyDown := { || oGet:cText := omGet:GetCol() }
omGet:OnKeyDown := { || oGet:PostMsg( WM_KEYDOWN ) }
Antonio,
many thanks, it is working fine now

Except that it shows 1 when first run, and actually it should show 10.

James,
you're right, but because I position the cursor at column 1 when I initialize the multiline get, it's ok for me.
However, another small problem came up: when I use the mouse to reposition the cursor the position isn't updated.
