current cursor location

how do i know what is the current location of the cursor inside a richtextbox? something like [if i type] brown monkey is not me and the cursor is in m, i have 7. thanks...

One way , use MousePosition methods .

VB Code:

MousePosition.X
MousePosition.Y

sorry for not clearing the things that i want. by the way pirate mate, thanks for the reply. i mean the blinking cursor inside richtextbox. something like if i have the brown monkey is not me text in the richtextbox and [say] if i have the cursor in the m of monkey, i can get the value 7. sort of 7th character. thanks

I see . Let me try to do you a demo!

i think this is it

VB Code:

dim i as integer=richtextbox1.selectionstart
.
.
.
richtextbox1.selectionstart=i

is this the way mate? i don't know much about this. lol...

Yeah . You just put that code in the MouseDown or MouseUp events . It's up to you .

thanks so much pirate mate. :)

You solved your own problem . ;)

:bigyello: i've got another prob [related]. how do i get the current string where the cursor is located. say, brown monkey is not me text and the cursor is in m of monkey. i want to get the string monkey... :bigyello:
