selectedChunk always empty?

[stephen barncard]

perhaps you are defeating your selection by clicking a button or using the
message box

this works from the multi-line message box:


*select text of fld "Field" of card id 1002 of stack "Untitled 1"*

*put the selectedchunk*



if you put this into the script of a button


*on mousedown*

*      put the selectedChunk*

*end mousedown*

then the selection one makes by hand will remain and the selectedchunk will
be placed in the message box output:

char 1 to 22 of field 1

if the "selection" is a blinking cursor then the cursor position will be put
into the message box output:

char 23 to 22 of field 1


if neither the selection made by hand or a blinking cursor is happening,
then empty is returned:
