Finding where the Cursor is ...

[Shiv Kumar G.M.]

Hello Gurus,

I have a simple basic problem.

Inside a textbox, there will be some text, and when the cursor is moved within the textbox, when it is in the begining or in the end, I want to move the cursor to another text box

We need to know where exactly the cursor is within a textbox either in the begining or in end

Any help is greatly apprecited.

Thankx in advance.

Regards,
Shivakumar G.M.

Use GetCursorPos and SetCursorPos APIs

for APIs infos,

And use the TextBox mouse_move event

tried in site allapi.net

but there are

No functions found that begin with the letter G

[aio]

Try this and just make adjustments.

Private Sub Text1_Change()
    If Text1.SelStart = Text1.MaxLength Then
        SendKeys "{Tab}"
    End If
End Sub


Private Sub Text1_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If KeyCode = vbKeyLeft Then
        If Text1.SelStart = 0 Then
            SendKeys "+{Tab}"
        End If
    ElseIf KeyCode = vbKeyRight Then
        If Text1.SelStart = Text1.MaxLength Or Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text) Then
            SendKeys "{Tab}"
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Ooops, sorry, I thought you were talking of MouseCursor, what you need is the SelStart of a TextBox, aio is right about sending Tab key, but you can also use textbox2.SetFocus, and then set the SelStart of that textbox
