Re: [wxhaskell-users] From mouse position to character index (textCtrl)

[Arie M. <ar...@cs...>]

If you can somehow convert a mouse-hover action into a mouse-press action, 
the following would be a solution:

1. save carret position
2. propagate event (text-control will move the carret)
3. obtain carret position as character index
4. restore carret position

There are some wxHaskell functions that deal with events, but I'm not sure 
whether or not they provide the required functionality.

Greetings,
Arie

Subject: [wxhaskell-users] From mouse position to character index (textCtrl)


Hi all

I have created a text-control and I want to know which character the
mouse is hovering over. Getting the mouse position is easy enough.
However converting the mouse position to a character index (into the
text-control's text) seems very difficult.

Anybody knows how to go from mouse position to character index?
