I know a little about this one, having talked last night to her about
it in Skype and then having directed her to this list as a general
resource for info...

She has a program that presents an HTML window for typing--in other
words, at least I assume, an editable HTML document.  But not all HTML
windows in this app are editable.  Turning off the virtual cursor
helps in the editable ones, but the VPC is nice in read-only HTML
windows.  I told her she'd probably have to use IEGetCurrentDocument()
and a COM call or two to figure out which HTML windows are editable.
I just didn't remember, off the top of my head, exactly what property
to check and on which element in the document.  I think it's
.IsContentEditable, but I don't know which element(s) that would be
set on.  I scripted something like this late last year, but I don't
have access to it right now to look at.

Desyree,

I'm drawing a blank on this one.  The only thing I can think of is you
making some sort of textarea form input in Com?

I am looking for help as to how to code an IE com object that will allow me
to type in a html message body for an email client.
the script has nothing in it right now just the start and end stuff.

thanks
