Status Strip - RTF Location

Question

Hi All,

 

Would like to know, what is the code for status strip text location.

I am developing an advanced notepad for some customizing text etc. and cannot find code or examples anywhere of how to put a text label in the status strip for the text "Column" & "Row" location.

 

Its basically the same as the windows notepad feature.

 

Can anyone please help me with this.

 

Thank You.

Answer 1

You must first add a toolstripstatuslabel to the status strip...

Me.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = ("MyString")

 

If you are using an rtf box for your notepad then the richtextbox control has methods to return the current line and character position.

Answer 2

hi,

you can add panels to your status strip to give you the same look as what you talk about , but about which line and which column i don't know anyway to do that , i guess you may get the curser coordinates and store in those panels

best regards

Dim Ln As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)

Dim Cn As Integer = (Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart) - (Me.RichTextBox1.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(Ln))

Dim MyString As String = "Line: " & Ln.ToString & " Col: " & Cn.ToString
