[Gambas-user] Set cursor position on a webview editable.

[Jorge Carrión]

Well I think I've find a solution (a tricky solution) that works: Add a
"strange string" at the end of html, search it and replace with nothing.

Teh code is something like this:

  WebView1.SetFocus()
  WebView1.html &= "··" 'two "middle points" is something I have no seen in
my life.
  WebView1.Eval("document.execCommand('findString',false,'··')") 'search
and select it...
  WebView1.Eval("document.execCommand('insertText',false,'')") 'and delete
it. The cursor remains at the end of text.

This opens the possibility for me to do the spelling "on the fly" and more
things...
If you know a better way I'll very happy to know it.

Best Regards.
