Stuck again!

[ansi]

I am stuck again! Can anyone help me with this... I am looking for a way in VB to tell me what position the cursor is at in a textbox. Can I do it through the KeyPress event? If so, can somone help me?

The Keypress event won't do, for 2 reasons:
1) the keypress event involkes before the character is actually added to the text
2) the keypress event wont fire when you press the arrow buttons

An alternative is the Keyup event. When the event fires, check for the selstart property.

Also make sure to do the same in the click event


private Sub Text1_Click()

Label1.Caption = Text1.SelStart

End Sub

private Sub Text1_KeyUp(KeyCode as Integer, Shift as Integer)

Label1.Caption = Text1.SelStart

End Sub
