You mean, you need the actual coordinates, in pixels? Why would you need that?
Anyway, perhaps the TxtWidth() function, in combination with SysMetric(), can help you here.
Another alternative would be to use the API. You can call Windows API functions from VFP, but I am not an expert on this subject.
>However calculating the coordinates from the SelStart and SelLength properties is complicated. I wonder if there is an API similar to the GetCaretPos() API to make the job simplier.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
