how to test at what line of an editbox the cursor is 1

[Nifrabar]

Hi!
I like to use the arrow up/dwn key to navigate throught the controls on a form.
That's no problem with textboxes but, once in an editbox the cursor remains at the upper row (once the arrow-up key hes been pressed). So I'd like tot know if there is a way to detect that the cursor is in th eupmost row to force the cursor to move to the previous control.
Is there a way to manage this?

Editbox.Selstart would be 1 when the cursor is at the beginning of field, wouldn't it?

Danfreeman,

That's through, but the cursor may be e.g. at position 25.
If you want to leave the editbox than, using up-arrow key it's impossible.
So, I don't know if possible, once you need the cursor is somewhere at row 1 you can force the leave that edtbox and skip back to another control.

Hi Bart,

why make everythig different than standard windows behaviour. TAB and SHIFT+TAB are for navigating controls. You may use the editbox keypress and translate array up/down through SHIFT+TAB or TAB, then this would also work, but you'd have no way to navigate through the lines of an editbox then.

Bye, Olaf.

you could use interactivechange and row(), col() functions. Then when you press North Arrow and the Row() does not change, then you can take appropriate action. Row() and Col() are for backward compatiblity but still work. you could use object.currentX, object.currentY properties instead.

try it.

Nasib,

Thanks for your reply.
This is indeed a way to solve this issue I can work further on.
