TextBox Or RichTextBox Cursor Position?

Nov 26, 2010

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.

VS 2010 - Masked Textbox Cursor Start Position

Dec 23, 2011

I have created a maskedtextbox to do a simmple validation >L99999. My problem is when the user clicks on the empty box the cursor stays where they clicked it, not at the beginning of the box as it would with a normal textbox. I have found some suggestions but these all seem to affect the way the cursor moves within the box rather than just changing the start position. As far as the end user is concerned the box should behave just as any other textbox but with validation.

Textbox Cursor Resets To First Position As Text Is Entered - VB 2008

Apr 14, 2009

I am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.

Set The Cursor Position In A RichTextBox?

Dec 12, 2011

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.

VS 2010 - How To Set New Cursor Position

Jul 21, 2010

I'm trying to set a new cursor position but I get this error:
A call to PInvoke function 'mon! WindowsApplication1.Form1::SetCursorPos' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

Here is the code:
Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" _
(ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
SetCursorPos(457, 603)
It used to work when I used VS 08 but now I use VS 10 and this problem has started to appear.

Forms :: Get Name Of Control At Cursor Position?

Sep 10, 2009

How do I get the name of the (topmost?) control at the cursor position? The background: I implemented drag'n'drop from a dgv to a label and need to identify the control where the mouse button is released. I have enabled dropping on the label where the drop is going to take place. However, this label is the parent of say a hundred labels that are created dynamically in codebehind (I use this way to create a "dataview"). Therefore, I need to know which of these "child" labels the user drops the data onto.

I can get the mouseposition without problems (Me.PointToClient(Cursor.Position).ToString), but as I said, I can't get the name/text/ID of the control the user dropped the data on. Also, I ned to get the child control's name/ID/Text, not the parent label of course.In addition, it seems as if I can't select the row I click on in the dgv anymore, after I implemented the DoDragDrop on the CellMouseDown event. Any ideas? Should I use another event?
