Displaying the current location (Line, Col) of a TextBox in a StatusBar

This generally works, unless you click past the last character, then the program assumes you are on the next line...

However, i'll leave it to you to tweak the rest, a simple loop to add vbnewline at end of sentence and remove from the start should fix it.

2 boxes on the form. textbox1, textbox2. both have multiline set = true

Private Sub TextBox1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Click Dim mousepos As Long = TextBox1.SelectionStart Dim currentpos As Long = 0 Dim str As String() = TextBox1.Text.Split(New Char() {vbNewLine}) For i As Integer = 0 To str.GetUpperBound(0) If (str(i).Length + currentpos) > mousepos Then TextBox2.Text = "Row:" & i + 1 & " Clm:" & str(i).Length - (str(i).Length + currentpos - mousepos) Exit Sub Else currentpos += str(i).Length End If Next End Sub

That's a much more effiecient way of doing it Good job!

If you read the description of this forum on the main page you'll see that it is aimed at VB.NET 2005 users. There may be people here with knowledge of older versions but, unless you state otherwise, people will assume you are using the the latest version of the .NET Framework. There are other forums on the Web that are aimed at VB6 and earlier. I'd suggest you look at some of those. Try here and here.
