Hey Guys!

I am having trouble getting a mouseDown message inside an edit box. Is there something else I can use instead of mouseDown?

Many Thanks,

Googie.

Maybe the openField message would do what you need?

Mouse messages aren't sent to an editable field except when right-clicking, use the text editing messages instead. In addition to openField, look at selectionChanged.
