CaretPos in different application

[Brian]

Hi,

From a VB add-in, can I determine the caret position in the VBIDE?
GetCaretPos returns the caret position in the add-in only.


Thanks,

Brian

You could try the GetGUIThreadInfo API.

Thanks Matthias,

that gave me the caret position of the appropriate window. Unfortunately
it was with respect to the client window rather than the screen
(which is what I wanted). I tried the ClientToScreen API, but
it didn't seem to give me the right answers wrt the VB IDE
i.e., it treated the toolBox, immediate window etc as all part
of the same window, rather than just the activeCodePane which is
what I wanted.


cheers,

Brian
