MauS M	I mean TO the position of the cursor. For example: i set cursor to a position (in middle of text) in the editbox. Then i doubleclick a nick and my mouse nicklist action should copy that nick to the position i've set

If i get what u mean you're saying say you had an edit bot: [Some text_____] and you put the cursor where the red bar is [Some \|text_____] Then you want to put text in that position of the cursor.. You can't. There no $did(id).cursorpos property or anything.

Example: Code: alias inserteditbox { var %dname = $$1 var %id = $$2 var %itext = $$3- var %text = $did(%dname,%id) if ($did(%dname,%id).selstart == 0) { did -o %dname %id 1 %itext $+ %text } else { did -o %dname %id 1 $mid(%text,1,$did(%dname,%id).selstart) $+ %itext $+ $mid(%text,$calc($did(%dname,%id).selend + 1)) } }

I assumed that it was editboxes in dialogs from KingTomato's post :tongue: For channel nicklists and editboxes I suppose you could get around the issue by using your sendkeys alias to send shift-tab (to go back to the editbox) and then sendkey the nickname. Or you could copy the nick to the clipboard and then sendkey +{TAB}^V (that way you dont have to worry about nicks containing ^{}[]) Code: alias sendkeys var %a = sendkeys $+ $ticks \| .comopen %a WScript.Shell \| if !$comerr { .comclose %a $com(%a,SendKeys,3,bstr,$1-) } alias inserteditbox { clipboard $$1 ; shift tab back to the edit box, ctrl v to paste. sendkeys +{TAB}^V } Nick List: /inserteditbox $1 Not pretty but it should work and do what the original poster wanted.
