Cursor Position of WebBrowser controlIs it posible to get/set the cursor position of the webbrowser control? With
a regular text box you can use the SelectionStart property. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi,
The browser is not like a regular TextBox. For one thing, it renders HTML, so it shouldn't be surprising that it works differently. In order to modify or retrieve information about the cursor position you have to use a TextRange object, which provides information about the current selection in the document. Add a reference in your project to the Microsoft.mshtml assembly (It's a PIA that I believe ships with Office 2003. I think there is an older COM library that you can reference instead but I can't remember its name right now). Use the following code to get a TextRange object that represents the current selection: IHTMLDocument2 document = (IHTMLDocument2) webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument; if (document.selection.type == "text") { IHTMLTxtRange range = (IHTMLTxtRange) document.selection.createRange(); IHTMLTextRangeMetrics metrics = (IHTMLTextRangeMetrics) range; // Here are some ways to read and manipulate the range position: // Get the location of the bounding rectangle of the text range relative to its parent element Point clientLocation = new Point(metrics.boundingLeft, metrics.boundingTop); // Collapse the TextRange into a cursor ( | ) and move it to the specified point, relative to the window: range.moveToPoint(10, 10); } TextRange object on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_textrange.asp -- Show quoteDave Sexton "ASP Developer" <ASPDevelo***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:26B1C913-F4BF-48A0-ADFD-363C5D9022F8@microsoft.com... > Is it posible to get/set the cursor position of the webbrowser control?

the control? Talk to you soon. Jason Smith Show quote "Dave Sexton" wrote: > Hi, > > The browser is not like a regular TextBox.

If you want managed code invoked when the user pastes something into the document: // I'm using an anonymous method here because the body is so small, but you can use a real method if you'd like webBrowser1.Document.AttachEventHandler("onpaste", delegate(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show(this, "Pasted!"); }); If instead you are looking for a way to programmatically paste something into the current selection or a text range: Paste Command on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/constants/paste.asp You can use the Paste command on the TextRange you created in my previous code sample: // Paste the contents of the clipboard into the text range: range.execCommand("Paste", false, null); -- Show quoteDave Sexton "ASP Developer" <ASPDevelo***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:10EDE6FD-D456-499A-8FA8-27493BB3E476@microsoft.com... > Awesome Thanks!
