Is it possible to get the cursor position in the chat window input box, like Plus! does to create the Quick Icons window?

That works on the windowless control?

You will likely need to use ActiveAccessibility to get the handle of the Edit box. Then use GetCaretPos().

The edit box has no handle, it's windowless...

However I forgot that GetCaretPos() is an API and not a message that needs to be sent to a specific control.
