How can I insert a string in target cursor?

[hikki]

Hi, everybody..
How can I insert a text into a string randomly...

e.g. there a string "Hello, Friend" in the textbox.

If I move a cursor within "Hello," and "Friend",
can I insert a text "Dear" immediately within the string?

How to do that? any function can get the cursor position within a String????

Thanks for your help.

for example you can use Insert, take the IndexOf etc..
string has lots of methods in it.

string s = "Hello, Friend";
s = s.Insert(6,"Dear");
MessageBox.Show(s);

Thank you Paresh,

Actaully, I know this insert method,

But I want to know where is the cursor position within the string, so that I can use .insert(position,string)....

If you want the position of the caret in the textbox... try

textBox1.SelectionStart

you will need to look more in Richtextbox, the members are sufficient for your basic needs of selection and insertion.
you will also need to look in string members and methods.
