Hi Gunnar,

I don't have the VFP code for this. But I think this is not difficult. Here is the hint:

- Get the mouse position ( GetCursorPos() API )
- Convert to the client window, which is RTF control ( ScreenToClient )
- Send EM_CHARFROMPOS message
- Send EM_SETSEL message with the return value from EM_CHARFROMPOS
