ASM Community

hello there,

i am trying to convert a program in assembler
MindWeb 900k

it is something like hypertext help interfaces (eg. spASM AsmTut, old Norton Guide).

so i use RichEdit control for text (simple edit text doesnt support custom text only for whole
textarea). after playing i managed to recognize URLs (EM_AUTOURLDETECT & EN_LINK
nightmare) and now i am trying to get the text when the user press mouse button.

the ideea is something like this:
1. user type text
2. user click on text
3. if text is enclosed in [] then open filename with the name from the brackets
eg: opens "this is a file.txt"
4. right click - opens previous file

i'm stuck on part 3 - getting the text and parsing for []. i cannot get the text with
EM_CHARFROMPOS.

any help on this ?

thanks ...

thanks KetilO,

but how can i get the position in the text from mouse (WM_LBUTTONDOWN) ?
on EM_CHARFROMPOS, 0, lParam it GPFs

Hi TBD

EM_CHARFROMPOS in a richedit wants a pointer to a POINT struct.

When user left click the caret should be on the word.
Try using EM_EXGETSEL.
