Getting The Caret Position In A RichTextBox?
Apr 10, 2012
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: [URL] 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.

even Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome.

This is what I am trying but it doesn't work. The idea is to rest the caret position at the beginning after I hit enter and the conents od Textbox1 are deleted
Private Sub TextBox1_Keydown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

I've searched the web for an answer, but i was not able to find a way to hide the caret of a RichTextBox in VB.NET.I've tried to set the RichTextBox.Enabled property to False and then change the background color and foreground color to non-grey ones but that did not do the trick.

there is any way to change the caret? (no the Cursor icon but the vertical little bar at the typing position)
the caret is really very tiny and I like to have option to change it to an yellow block, an red blinking underline or so.

How would I go about changing the actual shape of the RichTextBox caret?
I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?

I'm trying to make a TextBox with syntax highlighting (for (HTML/CSS) in VB.NET 2008.I figured that if I use RichTextBox.Find(), I can color specific text, but then I need to call RichTextBox.DeselectAll(). The problem is that the the cursor jumps to the beginning of the RTB.

Trying to set the cursor position in a RichTextBox. The contents of a document are opened into the RichTextBox and I would like the cursor to move to the very start of the text.
At the moment, I'm using:
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionStart = 0
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionLength = 0
However, this seems to provoke my "Would you like to save changes" dialog on closing the RTB even though no actual changes have been made.

I Would like to position the cursor in a text box using X,Y coordinates with X being the line number and Y being the column number. Is there any way to determine the line and column numbers of a textbox that is full of text. Using the .selectionstart paramenter only lets you position the cursor a certain distance from the beginning of text but there is no line information that I know of. By the way, I not an expert at VB so bear with me if these questions seem kind of basic.

When I right click in a richtextbox, a context menu appears with an option 'get line'. When that is pressed, it should return the line number in which the mouse cursor is in.
I was thinking something like:
Private Sub GetLineToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GetLineToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim intLine As Integer

I am using a WPF richtextbox to create a syntax highlighter for code provided in a textbox. I want to have it automatically adjust the rich textbox as I am typing, using a thread timer I reset the contents of the rich textbox. I am trying to keep the cursor where it is suppose to be. I don't loose any text characters during the parse (except line breaks).
I don't know how to keep the caret position where the user has left it in the text. It defaults to the end of the document. I attempt to store the current caret position in the text and then set it to the document after I make my changes, however the error I receive is "Cannot set CaretPosition to be outside of RichTextBox." So I set the caret position to the bottom of the document.
WPF, VB.net, .net Framework 4.0
Here is the code.
Public Sub FormatText()
If IsNothing(rtfContent.Document) Then
Exit Sub
End If
Me.rtfContent.IsEnabled = False

I'm creating a new windows form application based on an existing AS400 application (don't ask).Now the users are used to have a fat, white, blinking caret all over the place, so the first thing they mentioned when they saw my initial release was "where did the cursor go?" "We don't know which field we're filling in"
I tried to explain that there is in fact a cursor inside the textboxes (and that it is called a caret), but they want their big, fat cursor back.After some searching on the internet, combining snippets, I managed to make the caret look like I want (in fact you can use any bitmap image as a caret as long as you invert the colours).Now this seems to work like a charm for textboxes but they want the same caret when they edit a cell of a datagridview (who could have guessed)

I have console application embedded in a Panel on my Form. The problem is that the Vertical scrollbar of this application always stays at the top, and I would prefer that I was always able to see the caret (prompt) so I can see the latest info.
How do you force a Window to display the caret?
Do solutions give the option of the caret being at the top of the window or the bottom? I would prefer that the carat is at the bottom so I can see all the info immediately prior to the caret, as in this screenshot.

This may sound a daft question but how can you remove the caret from a textbox after the text has been entered without having to use the mouse to click outside the box.The reason for this is I have a textbox which when the user clicks the mouse on it a virtual keyboard allows them to enter text which is then displayed in the textbox. If the user got it wrong and wanted to reload the virtual keyboard they have to move the mouse outside the box, click and then re-enter again.

I have a login form with a background image. The image is OK during coding but not perfect when run. Now, I tried to superimpose two textboxes on it, one for username and one for password. However, unlike a normal form there is no caret in any textbox even when clicked. Though text can be entered in the textboxes, the characters are also say blurred.

I am using a virtual keyboard I have created to write text to a textbox. Before I start typing the caret is showing the current typing position and will continue to do so if I use the physical keyboard. The problem I have is as soon as I enter a character using the virtual on-screen keyboard the caret disappears and will not come back until I use the mouse to click inside the textbox. The following is the code I use for entering an 'h'
Private Sub H_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles H.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV") Then
My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV")

It uses a rich text box to edit in.On the right is a listbox, called the "suggestion box" The suggestion listbox is kinda large and eats up lots of valuable edit space How can I display my "suggestion listbox" control underneath the caret, like in Visual Basic?

I place the caret right next to "nanna", and using some code, I insert "NewData", so now the RTB is:
blah blha
nannaNewData
nahei8
crap
more crap
How can I place the caret next to NewData?

I am making a program in VB.NET and need to hide the Caret in textboxes.
I could live with it being either completely hidden or just the same colour as the textboxes background colour. How can I go about doing this? I would prefer to stay away from Custom Controls if at all possible.

I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

I also have a function that returns ALL tiles on the map and they're X, Y position. How could I find out which one is closest to the position I specify? I can't figure out how to go about it. how to implement it with this. Heres a MADE UP example if what I'm trying to do:
Dim MyPosition as New Position()
MyPosition.X = 400
MyPosition.Y = 400
Dim tList as New List(Of Tile) = MyMap.GetTiles
Now, I can already do the stuff above, but what I need to make is something like this:
tList.GetTileClosestToPosition(MyPosition)
