index (where the caret is) you can get from RichTextBox.Sel ectionStart

Good morning, I have a form containing a text-area, I'd like to know if it exists a function that, when I activate an event, returns the position of the cursor in the text-area. For example, I write ten words in the text-area, then I move the cursor at the beginning of the second word and activate the event (for example, click on a button): is there a way to know that the cursor is at the beginning of the second word?

I want to programmatically set the position of a cursor in a textbox that has focus based on a X and Y value. However, when I send a WM_RBUTTONDOWN and a WM_RBUTTONUP message to the textbox it selects the text from where the cursor is to where I want the cursor to be. All I want is to move the position of the cursor based on a X and Y values, not select the text. The code to recreate the issue.

Is it possible to get position (in numbers) of the insertion cursor? As I understood, Text widget uses mark named INSERT to store it, which is available globally by just referencing INSERT, but how could I get actual coordinate numbers of the mark? I need this because I want not just to insert string at, but to examine text before and after the insertion cursor. I can probably use .get() to extract the halves of text before and after...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
