HOW TO: Get the caret position in the Rich Text control.

[Abhi]

Hi,

I want to get the caret position in Rich Edit control. Is there any method in C# which i can use?
I tried to use the GetCaretPos API but unbale to use it.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool GetCaretPos(Intptr point);

Point curPos;
GetCaretPos( curPos );
This gives me compilation error as type mismach.

How sould i use this API.

Thanks,
AN

Hi,
First declare this struct:
public struct POINT
{
public int X;
public int Y;

public POINT(int x, int y)
{
this.X = x;
this.Y = y;
}
}
and then try chaning the declaration as:
static extern bool GetCaretPos(ref POINT point);

and then use the method as:
POINT pt = new POINT(0, 0);
GetCaretPos(ref pt);

I think this should work.
