Cursor (Property) In french: Curseur
Definition The mouse cursor allows you to easily determine where an action will be performed. For a control in edit mode, the cursor turns into a blinking vertical line, allowing you to identify the location of the next character typed.
Selected characters are highlighted. The cursor position is set at the beginning of the highlighted section. For example: | The input cursor is placed at the beginning of the input area. Its position is 1. | | The input cursor is placed at the end of the input area. Its position is 7 in this example. | | The input cursor is placed at the beginning of the highlighted section (position 3 in this example). The CursorEnd property is used to get and change the end of the selected area. | | |
The Cursor property is used to get and change the position of the mouse cursor in one of the following controls: - Edit control.
- Editable Combo Box control.
- "Edit control" column and "Editable Combo Box" column in a Table control.
 Word Processing control. - HTML Editor control.
Remark: To get the text selected in an edit control, an editable Combo Box or a column in a Table control, you can use SelectedText.
Tip: To select a text section in an edit control from a Button control: - The option "Automatic erase" must not be enabled in the edit control (unless the entire content of the control must be deleted).
- The button must be an "Interrupt" button and contain, for example, the following code:
// -- Click of BTN_Selection (Interrupt button)
// Select the entire text
EDT_Edit1.Cursor = 1
EDT_Edit1.CursorEnd = Length(EDT_Edit1) + 1
ScreenFirst(EDT_Edit1)
// Insert a character string at cursor position
EDT_ControlName = Left(EDT_ControlName, EDT_ControlName.Cursor) + ...
" is called " + Right(EDT_ControlName, EDT_ControlName.Cursor)
