How can I get the cursor position in a multiline textbox.
I want to programatically enter text at the cursor position

Thanks
Tony

Textbox.SelectionStart sets and returns the cursor position in the string in the text box. Identifying the cursor as line number and position in line is not easily done.

Turns out its quit easy

Code:

  i = TextEdit.SelectionStart
 TextEdit.Text  = StrInsert(TextEdit.Text,i,"[]")
 TextEdit.SelectionStart = i + 1
 TextEdit.ScrollToCaret
