Hi all,

I have a requirement in which, I got to get the position of the curosr in the field dynamically. Suppose if the size of the text field is 100 characters, and when the user are keying in the text, in a different text field the position of the cursor should be shown, example, 10,15,20 etc. Can it be done in Oracle forms version 6i. Any help on this regard is appreciated.

Thanks
- Sandeep

In Oracle Forms you can specify that the cursor position is to be retained so that the cursor goes back to that position when you re-enter the field. However, I have no idea whether that information is available via any API.

I suggest that if you want to keep a positional counter which is updated in real time that you write a Java thingy for the field in question.

Check out otn.oracle.com. Registration is free. They provide sample code for forms, and they have a Cursor Position PJC Demo, which is namely for 9i and 10g, but source code is provided and might help you for 6i.
