Status Strip - RTF Location

Hi All,

Would like to know, what is the code for status strip text location.

I am developing an advanced notepad for some customizing text etc. and cannot find code or examples anywhere of how to put a text label in the status strip for the text "Column" & "Row" location.

Its basically the same as the windows notepad feature.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Thank You.

    Dim Ln As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)

    Dim Cn As Integer = (Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart) - (Me.RichTextBox1.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(Ln))

    Dim MyString As String = "Line: " & Ln.ToString & " Col: " & Cn.ToString

    You must first add a toolstripstatuslabel to the status strip...

    Me.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = ("MyString")

    If you are using an rtf box for your notepad then the richtextbox control has methods to return the current line and character position.

    hi,

    you can add panels to your status strip to give you the same look as what you talk about , but about which line and which column i don't know anyway to do that , i guess you may get the curser coordinates and store in those panels

    best regards
