ContextMenus in RichTextBox control

[brideas]

I hope someone could help me with this problem:

 

I am trying to write a program in which when you type a character in a RichTextBox control, I want it to display a context menu just to the right of that. The user would then select what they want from the context menu and that would be inserted into the text box at the location of the cursor.

 

I dont know how to return the cursor location and use it to place the context menu there and how to insert text at the specific cursor location.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

You do not need to know the cursor's position to show the

ContextMenu, just set the ContextMenu property of the RTB to

your menu and it will pop up when the user right-clicks the

control.

 

As for the caret location, utilize the SelectionStart, SelectionLength,

and SelectedText properties in your code.
