Solution 1

use EM_EXGETSEL[^] to get the current location and save it and do this action when window lost it focus.

And also use EM_EXSETSEL[^] Window get back the focus to restore your last selected location.

EM_EXGETSEL will return you two position Min and Max, they will be equal if nothing is selected. If you don't understand ask.

Thanks for ur quick reply
it is happening in code already.
but new requirement is to place the cursor at the location where user clicks not to place where last time clicked.
It would be very helpful if u try the same in word document also.

Thanks

You can do what I would do, go to msdn open the page for Rich Edit Control. you can also follow the above links and also read through. That's how I got the current answer.
