Selecting text question
Is it possible to select all the text wherever the curser may be
without actually knowing where the cursor is? I need to write an Outlook add-in that does some processing based on the contact field that the cursor is sitting on. In other words the user places the curser into a contact field and then clicks a toolbar button. I don't think the Outlook object model gives me any idea which field has the cursor. Is there a way to trap a click event in standard contact fields? As a last resort I may have the user copy the text and I'll process the clipboard, but having it a little more automated is desirable from the user point of view. Thanks -mike |

If it's Word you can get the Document object and get the cursor position
using Word's object model. Inspector.WordEditor is the Document object. Otherwise I believe your only real recourse would be to use methods from the Redemption 3rd party library (www.dimastr.com/redemption). -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Mike" wrote in message ...

Any hints as to where in the Redemption docs I should start reading?

A couple of quickie snippets are in the section on SafeInspector, it's
basically just using the SafeInspector.SelText property, which works for any Outlook email format. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Mike" wrote in message ...
