Hi all

I was wondering if there is a way of changing the cursor position and selection length in a TextArea? Also is reading the selected text from a HTMLView possible?

Solution to first problem:

; add these 2 lines to your user32.decls file
;.lib "user32.dll"
;SendMessage%(hwnd, msg, wParam, mParam):"SendMessageA"

Function SelectText(textarea,start,fin=-1)
	If fin=-1 Then fin = start
	sendmessage(QueryObject(textarea,1), $B1,  start,fin)
End Function

I don't think you can do the latter.
