Hi Ed,

Thanks for your help! I follow where you're going with the POINT structure associated with a control's hWnd, however, I'm still clueless about how to get information regarding the screen position of the text cursor within a control. In order to get started, don't I need some way of finding more information about the position of the text cursor so I can in turn begin converting it to form coordinates?

I've studied the MS RTF control and don't see any information about properties that return the screen position (vs. the .SelStart or equivalent's linear position in the text stream) of the text cursor as well.

I think(?) what I'm trying to find are control properties similar to a form's CurrentX and CurrentY properties.

Idea: Is there a way to move the mouse to the position of a control's text cursor? If so I could grab the location of the text cursor by using the mouse's current coordinates?!

Thanks again for your help!
Malcolm
