Question

In a .NET 3.5 application, i want to get caret position in a RichTextBox control. The RTB is not XAML. Also, the RTB doesn’t have CaretPosition property as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.richtextbox.caretposition.aspx
What is the simplest way using which i can get the caret position?

EDIT:
To be more specific i want to find out what is the position of the caret from the start of the line on which it is positioned. I can get the line number by using GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb.SelectionStart) but not the offset from the start of the line.

Answer 1

To get the position of the caret from the start of the current line I will try this:

Dim posInLine as Integer = rtb.SelectionStart - rtb.GetFirstCharIndexOfCurrentLine()
