Hi Patrick,

AFAIK I think the correct answer for this is "There is no public API for this". Hopefully, SDL will decide to expose one in the future.

Then there is the hackish not recommended way using Reflection (because the non-public API can change):

EditorController editorController = SdlTradosStudio.Application.GetController<EditorController>();
Document doc = editorController.ActiveDocument;
var targetSelection = doc.Selection.Target;
MethodInfo method = targetSelection.GetType().GetMethod("GetActiveRange", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
ContentRange contentRange = (ContentRange)method.Invoke(targetSelection, null);
var offset = contentRange.Upto.TextOffset;

 There is a handy internal method called "GetActiveRange" which would be exactly what you need, but its an internal method.

The "ContentRange" which has the info is located in the Sdl.DesktopEditor.EditorApi dll, so you will need to add the reference.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and for the code sample. I was thinking about trying something along these lines. I will give it a try when time permits and post back about the results. I agree that it would be good to include this in the public API. The cursor position seems to be a somewhat indispensable piece of information for implementing autosuggest.

Hi, thanks for nice tip.

Can you give me another tip (same kind of Reflection) for FilesView ?
I am having troubled by losing focus there.
Unfortunately there are no 'somethingSelection' method.

The GetContentControl method under AbstractBindedController type looks promising but it is protected. 
any tips ?

Thank you
