The WinStatusBar™ CharacterPostion style is a type of panel that will display the current line and character position of a control.
Add an UltraStatusBar to your Windows Form.
In the Property Pages scroll down to the Panels Property. Click the ellipsis to bring up the Panels Collection.
Click the "Add" button. This will add a new panel.
Scroll the properties until you come to the Style property. Set the Style property equal to CharacterPosition.
Set the Control property equal to the control that should be reflected by this panel. Any valid instantiated control will be displayed within this drop-down list.
Click OK to close the window and you will see your CharacterPosition panel added to the status bar.
