GetCaretPos (rel) returns 0,1 for OneNote?

[Dick99999]

When I try to retrieve the relative caret position of OneNote, I always get 0,1. (Absolute returns the top left corner of the OneNote window.). Appreciate any help with the code below to make it working.

Code: Select all

SetFocus>OneNote:*
wait>0.5
GetCursorPos>nXPos,nYPos,csType
GetCaretPos>nXPosR,nYPosR,1
mdl>%nXPos%,%nYPos%,%nXPosR%,%nYPosR%
exit>1

EDIT: MS 14.3.02, Office 2016, Win 10

I investigated this a little further. The getCaretPos works in word, excel, outlook and powerpoint, but not in oneNote. So it might be a Microsoft issue?

I'm afraid GetCaretPos won't work in all apps all the time. It's a case of suck it and see. Unfortunately it sounds like OneNote is one app you won't be able to use it in.
