Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the CaretPosition within a textbox. I have tried the following code:


GetCaretPos ptCaret

lPoint = (ptCaret.y * 65536) + (ptCaret.x And &HFFFF&)

lIndex = SendMessage(txtPrice.hwnd, EM_CHARFROMPOS, 0, lPoint)

If lIndex And &H8000& then
nCharIndex = lIndex Or &HFFFF0000
else
nCharIndex = lIndex And &HFFFF&
End If




GetCaretPos returns the correct x,y coordinates, but SendMessage always returns -1.

Any ideas????
