Insert value at cursor position in form field

[Fanski]

With JS

this.getField("FieldName").value = "test value"

i can set the value of a form field.
How can i get the cursor position of the field, to insert a text at the positopn of the cursor?

So, the vield Value is "test text"
the cursor is placed at the begin of the second word ("text")
i would like to insert the text "insert" at the cursor position.
the result should be "test insert text"

thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

You can obtain the mouse coordinates directly through the Vewer AX SDK:

However determining where exactly that is relative to the text inside a form field might be harder.

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your answer.
Sorry, my description was not exactly.
I didn’t mean the mouse cursor, I mean the editor (text) cursor when the form field is selected.
Like in the screenshot (attached zip), you see the cursor between the two words (insert text).
I want to insert a text programmatically at the cursor position (between the two words)

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

I don't think you can obtain that particular information.
You can however obtain the current field value, and then update it to the new one that will include your word in the middle as well.
