How can I get at the coordinates of the beginning of the selected text in a multiline edit field, relative to the edit field?

Hmm... I think you'd have to use CharPosAtXY in a loop to find the closest Y (iterating over lines using CharPosAtLineNum to find the start of each line), and then another loop to find the closest X.

Best,
