caret coordinates in text box

Hi all

How do I get current coordinates (X,Y) of the caret symbol in a multi-line
text box?
Thank you

Try calling GetCaret followed by a EM_CHARFROMPOS message. You should be
able to work your way to the line/pos from that.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a richtextbox to behave like the text area in a web browser, i.e. no caret, and a cursor that changes depending on what it's hovering over. I've been setting the cursor by testing the "Selection" properties of the text the cursor is over. This requires setting the SelectionStart property, which causes the caret to move. Ugh!

(It's assumed that the user will be typing and then click the toolbar button.) From my research the textbox control doesn't seem to support any method of...

I'm writing an application with custom skinned controls. I have a text editor form with a rich edit control. Because there's no toolbuttons in the skinned control set, I have to use normal ones for Bold/Italic/Underline etc. Because they're normal buttons, they grab focus from the rich edit. So to prevent losing the caret Ive used the Validating event to cancel focus loss. This works great. The application can be run in either terminal or...

Okay, so a while back I managed to retrieve it correctly. In this thread: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/786211-retrieving-caret-start-end-values#post3127765 However I have found that in (W3C compliant browsers) this does not work correctly inside a contentEditable division.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
