c# - Current line and column numbers in a RichTextBox in a Winforms application

Question

How do I get the current line and column numbers in a RichTextBox in a Winforms application?

NOTE

Folks, I just want a simple solution, if it's available by someone and he's willing to share it with us, and not links to do research! Just give me some code please! Otherwise, I'll have to buy a control...

Answer 1

Thought I'd post a slightly simpler way of doing it.

// Get the line.
int index = richTextBox.SelectionStart;
int line = richTextBox.GetLineFromCharIndex(index);

// Get the column.
int firstChar = richTextBox.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(line);
int column = index - firstChar;

Get the current selected index, get the current line, then to get the column subtract the selected index from the index of the first character of that line.
