Malkey Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) .... It's 100% accurate when a word is under the mouse pointer, but when we hangover the mouse pointer to some free area (area that just contain blank space), it still display the word (the latest word?).

PhoenixXL Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 So as I understood. You wan't To detect the text that is currently hovered by the mouse(already done) Detect the text when clicked (can be done by using windows messages - WM_LBUTTONDOWN) To have additional check for if the mouse is over blank space (in progress) The main concept was that the text detected is the one that is highlighted when the user double-click at the certain coordinate. I can complete the rest of the requirements. Will post back soon. Regards My code: PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite. Remote Gmail: Execute your Scripts through Gmail.

Also, when the string is ended with number, like this: GUICtrlCreateEdit("Kc and Kp are the equilibrium constants of gaseous mixtures 10" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "However, the difference between the two constants is that Kc is defined by molar concentrations," & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "whereas Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gasses inside a closed system 12" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "The equilibrium constants do not include the concentrations of single components such as liquids and solid, and they do not have any units 13.", 2, 2, 394, 168, 0) It will keep displaying tooltip even the mouse hovering to blank spaces. Think I should modify the RegExp, but which one and replace to what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
