Textbox cursor position

Tom
Hi

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the position within a
textbox of the character under the mouse when it hovers over the
textbox in question?

Thanks

I've got this javascript routine (i found on google - thank you) in an asp.net page that on page reload sets the cursor of a textbox to the last line. It works great! Using a similar concept, I have another application that uses a textbox like an editor window and has a save and other buttons. Problem is - when I save/post/reload, the textbox returns to cursor the top again. How can I preserve / save the exact cursor spot and return...

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.

For a string that is being edited in a textbox, is there a way to find the position of the edit cursor in the string being edited? For example, it would be 0 or 1 at the beginning of a string and go up by one each time the right arrow key was pressed. Thanks Much, Gene in NC

Hi, For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0". Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to start searching on line 201, and not on line 1. Anybody has any ideas?

Does anyone know of an easy way to set the position of the cursor in a TextBox? If I set text in the box that is longer than the length of the TextBox the position of the cursor is at the very end of the line and a user would have to use the arrow keys to move it back to the beginning of the line of text. I'd prefer to set the cursor position automatically to just before the first character of the text. thanks
