Caret Offset - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by ernesto

How can I move the caret and view of the Editor to the position of text that I select from a ListBox.
I would like to search the Editor for the selected text and scroll its position to the top of the editor to bring it into view.

thanks

The editor.SelectedView.Selection object is what is used to control the selection. The caret's location is always at the end offset of the selection. editor.SelectedView.FindReplace lets you get to the find/replace object model which will highlight found text. There are numerous properties on the EditorView class that provide for changing which lines are displayed. Hope that helps.

Yes, this works great!


        Dim resultset As FindReplaceResultSet
        Dim options As New FindReplaceOptions
        options.FindText = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
        resultset = EditControl1.SelectedView.FindReplace.Find(options)

Note for reference: "EditControl1 is my reference to SyntaxEditor"

The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 7 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
