highlight character in text field

[assayag]

Hi,
I have a text field in my gui and I want to highlight,for example, all the letters 'e' in the text.
I can find the position of the letters.
How can I draw a small rectangle around each character in a way that does not hide the character itself.
I'm testing on n95.

Thanks for any suggestion.
Regards

You can experiment with CTextView:ocPosToXyPosL/FindDocPos. Drawing is an other story, you may either succeed in setting the editor to be transparent, or you can experiment with containing a second control, which will Draw after the editor (the container class can not be used for this purpose, since it gets Draw-n before the editor).

Thanks for reply
Using CTextView:ocPosToXyPosL/FindDocPos I can find the rectangle dimensions.

or you can experiment with containing a second control

Suppose I'm using a rectangular label or an image control with colored rectange as bitmap.
By calling DrawNow() it will display this second control over the editor but not in the background as you said.
I'm still need to make transparency as you said in first option.

How can I achieve this task, containers in symbian has no alpha channel like in iphone for example )-:

If you do not gc.Clear in the second control, it should not harm the actual screen content.
