RE: RichTextbox scroll to a line

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Rachel,
one way to do it would be the following:

//have to set focus first on the rich text box for scrolling to work
this.richTextBox1.Focus();

//move the caret to the correct place <IMPO>This is a character position not
line position</IMPO>
this.richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 50;

this.richTextBox1.ScrollToCaret();


I don't think there is a method for setting to caret to an individual line,
so you will have to calculate the position of the caret by knowing how many
characters there are in each line (plus the \r\n)

Hope that helps
Mark.
