current-text-column

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: stream

Returns an integer indicating the current text column where the selected text of stream begins or, if there is no selected text, where the text cursor is located. Zero indicates the leftmost text column.

stream can be a multi-line-editable-text control, a text-edit-window, or a text-edit-pane.

See also current-line-number.

Note: incompatible change in release 6.0: in releases prior to 6.0, when a frame-with-single-child instance was passed to this operator, the operator was actually applied to the child (the result of applying frame-child to the frame-with-single-child instance). In release 6.0, this redirection no longer occurs. If you intend this operator to apply to the frame-child, pass that to this operator rather than the parent. This is a non-backward-compatible-change. See the release notes for more information.
