Finding cursor location in a textbox in vb.net

Question

How do you find the location of the little blinking cursor where the user can type, column and row? I couldn't find this anywhere.

If you mean WinForms, use the SeletionStart property to access the current position of the carret. Here is code to get the index, current line and current column.

int index = myTextBox.SelectionStart;
int currentLine = myTextBox.GetLineFromCharIndex(index);
int currentColumn = index - myTextBox.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(currentLine);
