Thanks Tim!
I have tried that in a subclassed Richedit and not work well.
Now I make a simple test and work perfect.
Ergo, there is something wrong in the subclass  :(

Thanks newrobert!

Not so easy because there is some problem with window size, but I will see. :t

I found that in the subclass EM_GETSEL and EM_SETSEL are not retriving cursor position before and after to paint. Work perfect with EM_EXGETSEL and EM_EXSETSEL.

Thanks.

maybe you can use setfocus before EM_SEL

Your tools are not really the latest ones ;)
But thanks for trying :t

Your tools are not really the latest ones ;)

Just to show that is impossible to be updated with your advances 

AddWin$ obviously is improved this days, but I don't know what is the Vkey2 thing (I'm sure it will very interesting... other day).

Thanks.

what is the Vkey2

Code Select Expand

Event Key
  Switch_ VKey2
  Case_ VK_LEFT
  ...

The "normal" VKey variable is VK_LEFT if the key was pressed while the main hWnd had the focus, but it's -VK_LEFT if the key was pressed inside the RichEdit control.

Since that was sometimes clumsy to test (.if VKey==VK_LEFT || VKey==-VK_LEFT), I added VKey2 which tests 2 conditions simultaneously, i.e. VKey2 is always positive, independently of who had the focus.
