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

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...

ActiveAccessibility will be able to get one.

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