Re: [platform-swt-dev] updating a caret without focus
|
An insertion point is a selection with zero length. In future, please
address such questions to the eclipse.platform newsgroup.

Not really. Why don't you use selection instead?
For my context there is no selection but just an insertion point. I
wanted to be able to show where the current insertion point was on the
TextEditor by showing a caret without it actually having keyboard
focus. If this isn't currently possible, any hints on how to manually
display an insertion point/caret on a non-focused TextEditor?
I'm attempting to programmatically update the caret position of a
TextEditor that does not have focus. I'm developing on Eclipse
3.0.1/Win32 platform and the caret only displays when its TextEditor
gains focus. Is there a mechanism that will visually update a
TextEditor caret without giving the editor focus? A Win32 solution
is acceptable as that is my delivery platform.
Thanks,
Greg
