I have to limit the number of lines and characters per line in an UltraFormattedTextEditor. For example: maximum 4 lines and maximum 20 characters per line.
The number of lines is not that difficult, I'm counting the number of crlf's in the keypress event.
But I also want a maximum number of characters per line. I'm having difficulty with this one because I don't know where the user is typing. How can this be done? It's no big deal in itself to check how many characters there are on a line but I would like to prevent the user from entering the character if he tends to exceed the maximum on the line he is typing.
Hello Erik,
After extensive research, limiting the number of characters per line while limiting the number of lines has been determined to be a new feature request as reproducing this behavior would require re-writing a significant portion of the Editor’s code.

Is there a workaround possible? Or perhaps an other control?
Can I get the cursor position?
