Hi,

I'm trying to track the cursor position in an UltraTextEditor. Reading the SelectionStart property works but I want to update my postion label when the mouse is clicked in the editor  and when the arrow keys (left, right) are pressed.

I tried the MouseClick event but it never occurs and MouseDown only occurs once.

For the keys I used the KeyPress event but it didn't come up for the arrow keys (only for characters, numbers, ...). Trying the KeyDown event works but the position is not correct.

Here is what I have now:

Private Sub TxtTblContent_KeyDown(...) Handles TxtTblContent.KeyDown

If (e.KeyCode = Keys.Right) OrElse (e.KeyCode = Keys.Left) Then

LblCursorPosition.Text = TxtTblContent.SelectionStart

End If

End Sub

Private Sub TxtTblContent_MouseDown(...) Handles TxtTblContent.MouseDown

If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then

LblCursorPosition.Text = TxtTblContent.SelectionStart

End If

End Sub

And what I tried:

Private Sub TxtTblContent_KeyPress(...) Handles TxtTblContent.KeyPress

If (e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Right)) OrElse (e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Left)) Then

LblCursorPosition.Text = TxtTblContent.SelectionStart

End If

End Sub

The MouseClick event was implemented like the MouseDown event.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
