1. [win32] cursor
How do you find the cursor position in a MLEedit?
I have an edit window, and I want to be able to insert a string into where
the cursor position is.

Its not documented as such but the getIndex() call will return the cursor
location from an edit or
richedit box. Currently the docs only mention ListView and Treeview, but it also
works for Listbox
and Combos.

bah.... ok thanks.
I think that there should be at least a wrapper func called
getCursorPosition or something.
Also, to insert text where the cursor is, it looks like I'm going to have to
do something like this:
sequence text
atom pos
text = getText(myctrl)
pos = getIndex(myctrl)
setText(myctrl, text[1..pos] & "hello there" & text[pos+1..length(text)])
In my mind, when setSelectedText was called, if there wasn't anything
selected it would insert text at the cursor position.
That seems to be more logical, rather than do nothing.

5. Re: [win32] cursor
How about a built in function to set the cursor position, or is that
accomplished by setIndex?
