Hi,
how do I get the line number the cursor(the one blinking) is at in a
multiline textbox?

Thanks

You could get the value of the SelectionStart-property and determine how
many \r\n are before that position in the text. I cannot imaginge another
solution.

Hello,
You can't directly get the line number. You can directly get the character
number through (textBox1.SelectionStart).
Then after that, you can do calculations to divide this number by the
length of the strings in the collection.
Hope this helped.
