Default Re: finding cursor.


very cool! i played with this a bunch with limited success. however it
appears to only work if you use the IHTMLDocument and not the mailitem's
HTMLBody member. i have pasted some code at the bottom.

METHOD1 is how i want to do it, HTMLBody seems to be necessary for unrelated
reasons (images in replies get dropped if I don't), but it fails with:
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

Method 'createRange' of object 'IHTMLSelectionObject' failed

but if i use METHOD2, it works like a charm. any ideas? thanks alot for
the help Dmitry / Sue.

Private Sub oMail_Open(Cancel As Boolean)
If oMail.Sent = False Then
Dim strDemoHTML As String
Dim objHTMLDocument As IHTMLDocument
Dim objSelection As IHTMLSelectionObject
Dim objTxtRange As IHTMLTxtRange
Dim objHTMLElement As IHTMLElement


strDemoHTML = "<html><body><div
id='myBody'>rawr</div></body></html>"

Set objHTMLDocument = oMail.GetInspector.HTMLEditor

'change this to METHOD2 and it works
GoTo METHOD1

METHOD1:
oMail.HTMLBody = strDemoHTML
GoTo FINISH

METHOD2:
objHTMLDocument.Write strDemoHTML
objHTMLDocument.Close
GoTo FINISH

FINISH:
Set objSelection = objHTMLDocument.Selection
Set objTxtRange = objSelection.createRange
Set objHTMLElement = objHTMLDocument.getElementById("myBody")

objTxtRange.moveToElementText objHTMLElement
objTxtRange.Select

oMail.Display
End If
End Sub

I have no idea, you might be better off asking in the IE/DOM newsgroups.
