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.
