Thx, your explanation works, but what i actualy trie to do is the same as
moving the scrollbar.
So when a user left click on the richtextbox and move the mouse/cursor i'd
like to change the scrollbar position. (Horizontal or vertical)
I think there must bij an API call for that (set the scrollbar position...or
something)
