How to place the View-Cursor in a writer Doc?

[Toxitom]

Hey everyone,

I do have a specific task and need some help:

There is a form inside a writer Document. User will get from field to field via Tab-button. When reaching the last field, a macro should start (ok, no problem) and place the View-Cursor to a specifiic position inside the writer document.

Well, it is possible to place a cursor and mark some text (for examble), nevertheless the ViewCursor stay inside of the form and move to the next field (in this way to the first field).

I belief, there is some work to do with the currentController, but I do not get any results.
Any Ideas?

It will help me, if someone knows how to leave a form and place the Viewcursor inside the writer doc.

Thanks
Thomas

Hey Andrew,

thanks for your repley, but this did not solve the problem.

I can select everything inside the Writer-Document, you will even see the selection, nevertheless the ViewCursor (this small blinking thing) stay inside of the form - in the next field.

So in my opinion, the form placed on the drawpage still "craps" the focus and is still aktiv. I do not have any ideas to leave the form via makro.

When I analyse the dokument, there seemed to be two Viewcursor - one inside the form, one inside of the text (document). Using the mouse and leavinf the form, the viecursor is still at the last position inside the text - so this is anywhere stored. This position I can change via macro, no problem, even when calling the macro from inside the form.
But - what i try to do is to move the focus from inside the form to outside - so back to the text-document. Any Ideas herefor?

Best regards
Thomas
