RichTxtBox and Line Number

[simongsc2]

I am writing a program that is making some manipulation with RichTextBox.

I need to be able to capture a few information such as total number of lines in the RichTextBox, the current line (line with cursor).

Any idea how to do it? Is it possible with RichTextBox or is there something else I can try?

Thanks in advance.

Insert these 2 procedires in your code.

Public Function NumberOfLines(TextBox As RichTextBox) As Integer
Dim sLines() As String

sLines() = Split(TextBox.Text, vbCrLf)
NumberOfLines = UBound(sLines) + 1
End Function


Public Function CurrentLine(TextBox As RichTextBox) As Integer
Dim sCopy As String
Dim sLines() As String
Dim intCon As Integer

sCopy = TextBox.Text
sCopy = Mid(sCopy, 1, TextBox.SelStart) & "{VBROCKS}" & Mid(sCopy, TextBox.SelStart + 1)

sLines() = Split(sCopy, vbCrLf)
For intCon = 0 To UBound(sLines())
    If InStr(1, sLines(intCon), "{VBROCKS}") Then
        CurrentLine = intCon + 1
        Exit For
    End If
Next
End Function

Now to determine the number of lines in the rich text box, u could call it like this

Msgbox NumberOfLines(MyRTFBox)

To determine the current line

Msgbox CurrentLine(MyRTFBox)
