Position of the cursor

[bjoernlueders]

How can I retrieve / set the current position of the cursor in the textbox (as with .selstart)?

Thanks,

Bjoern

Have a look at the GetSelection() method.

Thank you for the fast response.

I'm stuck here. How do i identify the Position of the "selectionStart"?

[TiKu]

Code: Select all

Dim selStart As Long

TextBox1.GetSelection selStart
' now selStart holds the cursor's position

Thank you very much.

One last question: How can i set the Position afterwards to "selstart+1"? .setselection(selstart,selstart+1)?

[TiKu]

If you just want to change the cursor's position to one character ahead, use

Code: Select all

SetSelection selStart + 1, selStart + 1

If you want to select the first character after the cursor's position, use

Code: Select all

SetSelection selStart, selStart + 1
