Cursor location - in pixels - in textarea
BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Cursor location - in pixels - in textarea
| ||
Does anyone know a multi-platform way of determining the exact location in pixels of the cursor in a textarea? It must also work even when the text is scrolled (that's the main problem). Even a convoluted solution, and preferably without module tweaks. Thanks. |

Take a look at this: Adding a TextAreaCursorXY Windows & MacOSX doesnt need mod tweaking, but the Linux one does. |

Thank you very much. Too bad it requires a module tweak. Based on your code, I'll probably look if I can add the feature on top of the current maxGUI implementation rather than tweaking it. I just want my code to stay self-contained and not be broken by any update. If anyone has another solution, I'm still ready to take it. |

I was kind of hoping this tweak might make itself into the official mods, seeing as it works on all three platforms... |

Two new functions, TextAreaCharX() and TextAreaCharY(), are now available from the MaxGUI SVN with implementations on all platforms. |
