Getting line number from a textbox.

[kryten]

Thanks for that, but it didn't work.

EM_GETLINECOUNT is empty if that helps.

I've only got VB5 mind, does that use VB6 stuff?

I've thought of a way of doing it, its pritty simple.

I take whats left of the .selstart, and check how many carrage returns there are.

The problem is I dont know how to check for how many carrage returns there are.

I didn't notice that you were using the RichTextBox Control.
Here is the simplest way to tell what line the cursor is on.

Private Sub RichTextBox1_Change()
    'Add 1 so that it starts on line 1 instead of line 0
    Caption = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromChar(RichTextBox1.SelStart) + 1
End Sub
