Re: Capture ALL movements...event?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Apart from the dynamic position data, there are the toggles (OVR, TRK, etc)
which will be even harder to mimic.

Tell your boss it's not possible. Offer him a macro behind a toolbar button
which would pop up a pretend status bar with data at that instant rather
than a fully dynamic one. That would be *much* easier and might keep him
happy.

To me, I could care less about the status bar, but my boss is admit about
having it display for our users. Ideally, I wish it would work in IE. I
guess I'll just have to deal with the WindowSelectionChange the best I
can.

Thanks!

No. There just simply isn't an event which fires off every keystroke.

It might, theoretically, be possible to assign every keystroke to a
macro
and perform some appropriate action, but it would be extremely difficult
to
write and a hell of a perfomance hit and would probably still fail in
some
cases (field updates, for example). Alternatively some low level APIs
might
get you there.

For sure this won't be easy even if it's possible. Is the status bar
that
important to you?

They do you have something else that you use that works better?

Yes, it is the closest - but still quite a long way off.

Currently I am trying to create my own StatusBar because the
Word
StatusBar
doesn't display when you are using it with Internet Explorer.
My
question
is
what event do you use to capture every movement of the
cursor(pointer)
so
I
can display the current line, section, column, etc...? I've
tried
Me.SelectionChange but it only captures some of the movements.
It
doesn't
capture when I hit the Enter button, etc...

Any ideas? Thanks for your time!

The closest I think you can get to this is the
WindowSelectionChange
event.
The following article shows you how to write event procedures for
application-level events
