[RESOLVED] How to make a contextMenuStrip to scroll to a position on a RichTextBox

[nqioweryuadfge]

Am trying to make a contextMenuStrip to scroll to a certain position on a RichTextBox on the selected text. When you use a small file on the RichTextBox, it is working perfectly... But when you use a large file, the Menustrip cannot scroll to that position with the help of the scrollbars on the RichTextBox. How can I solve this problem from the code here:

Where word is selected on:

 ContextMenuStrip1.Show(RichTextBox1, RichTextBox1.GetPositionFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart + RichTextBox1.SelectionLength))

Show the Menu under the selected text on the RichTextBox:

    Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Opening(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.Opening

        Try
            With RichTextBox1
                Dim pt As Point = Me.PointToClient(.PointToScreen(.GetPositionFromCharIndex(.SelectionStart)))
                pt.Y += .Font.Height ' * Assuming all text use same Font/Height!
                ContextMenuStrip1.Show(PointToScreen(pt))
            End With
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Exception Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)

        End Try
        Exit Sub
    End Sub

Try this

        Dim p As Point = RichTextBox1.GetPositionFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart + RichTextBox1.SelectionLength)
        If p.X < 0 OrElse p.Y < 0 Then
            RichTextBox1.ScrollToCaret()
        End If
        ContextMenuStrip1.Show(RichTextBox1, p)

Your code is good, but I found a solution by placing this code:

RichTextBox.Focus()

on top of the following:

ContextMenuStrip1.Show(RichTextBox1, RichTextBox1.GetPositionFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart + RichTextBox1.SelectionLength))

So, when I tested your code, I was also forced to include that code on top of the

ContextMenuStrip.Show()

You have marked this thread as [RESOLVED], but i didn't understood how RichTextBox.Focus() let the RichTextBox scroll to the caret position!

The contextMenustrip does not appear under the text if the content on the document is large. So, you have to focus it in that section of the scrollbars for it to appear in that position. Caret did not solve my problem.
