[WIN] RE: Win32lib: setting cursor in RichEdit

Hi Ad,


What I've discovered I need to do is setFocus(RE) and then setIndex(RE,
pos). But I still don't know how to put the cursor on the second line if you
are using RTF text. (I can if I don't streamRTF in, however.)

I've played a lot with the RTF codes you have to place in front of your data
and in front of each group of words that need a different font or color. I
got that nicely going, only to discover that getIndex( RE) is not helping me
know where in the stream the user is - just where he in on control. In other
words he might be in position 10 screenwise but positiong 528 streamwise. So
I haven't found a good method to colorize the data while the user works on
it. URGH! Have you had any luck with this? I sure hope I'm doing something
incorrectly and there is a solution. The first method I used was to color
with setIndex/setFont but I didn't like that at all.

Judith
