    Exclamation

    I made a listbox that has characters and other stuff. When
    you double click a character, for example, A, then A would be added to a textbox. The problem that I can't figure out is how to add the character where the The Blinking "|" is. Please help me! Thanks in advance..

    the textbox should have a selstart property
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    insertion

    I don't know if thats what the function I need for what I'm
    doing. Heres a little diagram of what I'm doing:

    | = Blinking Insertion Line
    ___________________
    |A...B...C...D...E...F...[G]<-|-----Listbox("G" is Highlighted)
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    ________________
    |AA|AA.....................<-|
    |________________|\
    ________________...\
    |AAG|AA...............<-|---textbox
    |.................................|
    |______________|

    (Don't mind the periods)
    When the G is doubleclicked, it goes where the blinking insertion point is. Thats what I want done, I can't figure out how its done, or what is needed to do it.

    selstart returns the position of the cursor. For the insertion you need to use left(txtbox,txtbox.selstart) & yourtext & mid(txtbox,txtbox.selstart+1)
