Line Number in Microsoft forms 2.0 - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

rob

Hiya,

I am having a problem of getting the position of the cursor in a microsoft
forms 2.0 box. I need the position + linenumber. I am making a simple text
editor which supports unicode.

Does anyone knows how to do it ?

Thanx in advance

A quick Google search came up with these two hits. Don't know if they
will work with a Forms 2.0 textbox.

As I recall the forms 2.0 controls don't expose a hwnd (aka windowless
controls) and as such any API methods usually applied to regular edit (text)
controls will fail with the forms 2.0 controls.
