Cursor position in RichEdit

Hi!

I'm new to VB.NET

Anybody that could show me how to find the cursor position in a
RichEdit?

That is: when user click anywhere in the box and there's some text
already, I want to programatically move to a new line and insert time,
make a new line and user will be ready to insert new text.

I would appreciate if someone could show me how to count the amount of
words and place the caret/cursor at the actual point.

Happy programming!

I don't know what a richedit is, but if you mean richtextbox then:

You need to look at RichTextBox.Sel ectionStart,
RichTextBox.Sel ectionLength, RichTextBox.Sel ectedText. These methods
return where the cursor is put, how long it is and what text is there.

Good Luck,
Chris

Yeah, that's right!

I discovered some answers in the group seconds after posting. I say:
why not read FAQ or search the group BEFORE I post a question?

(Who knows....)

Anyway thanks a lot.

I modified the class keeping a majority of his code, and built a c#(.net) front end to use this c++ built core library, passing it the hook type of EM_SETTEXTEX (WM_USER + 97) and the threadID of the richedit box, his class comes up telling me...

Adjust the desktop cursor position based on this.

Hi I'm trying to create an application with a RichEdit control, I found that CreateWindow always returns a null hWnd unless I call LoadLibrary("riched20.dll") first (the error code from GetLastError is 1407 - couldn't find class). This is even when I link with comctl32.lib and call InitCommonControls. Do I HAVE to use a DLL if I want to use a richedit control, and more importantly, do I know that it will be on the target machine, and if...

I have the opportunity to rescue a project that uses a mouse to sense the relative position of a machine. The hardware is built...just needs to be programmed. Stop snickering!!! I didn't do it...I just gotta fix it. I need to make some calculations on the measurements and VB6 is my language. Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement, but it's an auditing function and that's acceptable.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
