How To Scroll Caret to Position

[Nephila]

I'm pretty new to Delphi, so this may sound like a stupid question, but how can I scroll the caret in a RichEdit to an exact position say something like (line5,char10)?

Thanks for any help!!!

You can move it to a particular character by setting SelStart.
You can move to a particular character and force that character to be visible as follows:

    Memo1.SelStart  := 0;  // move the cursor to the start of the Memo, and
    Memo1.SelLength := 1;  // highlight a character, in order to move the scroll bars back to the top left.
    Memo1.SelLength := 0;  // Then unhighlight the character again.

To move to a particular x,y pos: you could either do some arithmetic based on adding up line lengths, or you could shoot, read Caret to see how you scored, and shoot again. -- Doug Burbidge mailto:doug@ultrazone.com

You could also use:

memo1.CaretPos.x := 7; // to set the row number
Memo1.CaretPos.y := 5; // to set the char number

The caretpos trick isn't going to apply, as CaretPos is a read-only property :-(
