Default How do I get cursor position and text being typed?

Hi,

How do I retrieve the current text being entered in a cell and the
cursor position. NB: I am /not/ looking for the contents of the
current cell - I am looking for the text in teh edit box where
contents of a cell are displayed for editing and/or input.

Sincerely,
Anders S. Johansen

Anders,

VBA doesn't execute when you are in Edit Mode, so there is no way
to do this.

Oh, it doesn't have to be from VBA. We are talking from an external
program, written in C++. It could be through OLE/COM, Windows messages,
MSAA...
