I'm at my wits end.

I've a text editor (memo), I want to be able to have predefined text
placed at the cursor position, no matter where the cursor is within the
memofield ie,

(Blank edit window),  event initiated and:-

PUTS THIS TEXT IN EDIT WINDOW  (another event initiated with the cursor
                                and T & I):-

PUTS THIS TEXT [EVENT HAPPENED HERE] IN EDIT WINDOW (another event
                                                   intiated with the  
                                            cursor between the S & T):-

PUTS {ANOTHER EVENT HAPPENED} THIS TEXT [EVENT HAPPENED HERE] IN EDIT
WINDOW

and so on.

I've tried ADD, INSERT but they don't do what I want them to do, and I
can't even work out how to put the predefined text string at the current
cursor position. I guess you could imagine it working like copy & paste
but without the user selecting text, as the text is predefined, ie,

procedure onclick ;
begin
memo1.PutInAtCurrentCursorPosition'[EVENT HAPPENED HERE]';
end;

(Yes I know it's wrong syntax but I don't know what the correct code
should be as I can't work out the procedure, hence me post).

Please help, hair is now coming out in fistfulls.....
TIA

Look up SelText, SelLength, SetSelTextBuf and associated properties
and functions. Basically you just assign your string to SelText and
Bingo!
