Finding Selectionstart/selectionend in string/editorgadget

I'm trying to find is if there is a way to get the selectionstart and selectionend when you mark some text in and string/editorgadget,
I know how to set the selectionstart and selectionend. Googling usually gives you like;
start = gagdet.Selectionstart
TheEnd = gagdet.SelectionEnd
Something asfar as I know PB does not support. So is there a way to get these two values?
So far I've tested with this;
Code: Select all
Protected.i wp = 0, lp = -1
SendMessage_(GadgetID(#TxtMinutesInHour),#EM_GETSEL,wp,lp)
and other combos of wp and lp.
but whatever wp/lp returns is what I put into it, not the first and last position as expected of market text

Use:
Code: Select all
Protected.i wp = 0, lp = 0
SendMessage_(GadgetID(#TxtMinutesInHour), #EM_GETSEL, @wp, @lp)
The return values will be in wp and lp.

Doh, So basically I have to use @ with every API call where it returns values like that. Point to the value, do not provide the value directly.
Thanks it did it.

I have done something more like this before. I just totally forgot that the wparam/lparam/sparam is mostly, if not always a pointer, and not the value itself.
