Re: Getting mouse clicks in a TextCtrl?: msg#00046

Subject: Re: Getting mouse clicks in a TextCtrl?
Thank you Mark,

GetInsertionPoint does the trick. Even better, using PositionToXY on the 
insertion point removes any windows newline/return weirdness. 
Oddly though, the mouse is left in a strange state after clicking as if I were 
dragging the mouse with the button held down.
