Re: Drag n drop function for form memo field

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks first of all for your help and links...
i've added the RTF2.ocx to my project
I've spend some time now on trying to use it the way the memofield was used
before ..... the memofield is a field of a table and the form just reflects
that field.

I cannot type into the RTF field
and so I cannot get it to work as intended :((

i am using A2k ... and think I probably better forget about this nice little
playing around ?!??
I thought I could use code like

Function DragDrop1(mousePos X, mousePos y, startSelection, endSelection
.....)
.....
End Function

and thought I could take it from there ....

I can't ... can I ???
