Hi there,

I'm using GetSelectionBounds to try to find the style(s) of items in

selected text. This works fine outside tables with any selection length

(including no selection), but when the selection length is zero but the

cursor is an a table cell I get weird results. Here's the line of code:

   RVE.TopLevelEditor.GetSelectionBounds(StartItemNo, StartItemOffs,

                     EndItemNo, EndItemOffs, True);

and these are the results I get:

StartItemNo: -1

StartItemOffset: 2006815328

EndItemNo: -1

EndItemOffset: 1242512

Any idea what the problem might be? The code is called by a click on a

button, so the focus has left the editor; is it possible that this

destroys the top level editor for the table cell, and leaves the cursor

nowhere at all? If so, is there a way I can prevent that from happening?

All help appreciated,

Martin
