find textbox insertion point

B

Bert

Is there a way to test for the current insertion point in a Userform
textbox--if, for example, there are 100 characters in the textbox, and the
user clicks at a point in the textbox, is there a way to find out where in
the string the user has clicked.
Thanks.

Look at the SelStart Property in VBA help. I think that is what you are
looking for.

Private Sub TextBox1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, _
ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
If Button = 1 Then
With TextBox1
Me.Caption = .CurLine & " " & .SelStart & " " & .SelLength
End With
End If
End Sub
