Hi. I'm looking for a way to display the cursor inside
a field when the field is displayed. I'm using CW_FIELD
to create the field. The user has to place the cursor
inside the field by clicking the mouse button inside the
field. It would be nice if he didn't have to. This seems
like an easy thing to do; I just can't find out how. Could
someone help me?
Myron.

Yes, that's possible too! I just discovered it myself a couple of
days ago.
The TVCRS procedure can be used to move the mouse cursor anywhere,
even outside the (possibly unmapped) currently selected draw window.
The following example should demonstrate this:
base = widget_base(/row)
text = widget_text(base,xsize=100)
dummy= widget_base(base,map=0)
draw = widget_draw(dummy,xsize=1,ysize=1)
widget_control,base,/realize
widget_control,draw,get_value=window
wset,window
tvcrs,-200,-20,/device
widget_control,text,/input_focus
You just have to match the X,Y device coordinates to where you want the
mouse cursor to appear.
Regards,
Stein Vidar

Uuh, oh, that's a *very* dirty trick. However, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the suggestion.
