How to detect cursor location and insert text???
If I have a rich text box on a form, that is filled with say 30 lines of text the user has inserted. Is there a way I can detect where the cursor is in that text and insert some pre-defined text at its location on a button click? For example:
"This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box.<!!!!the cursor is here!!!> This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box. This is some text in a rich text box." How can I detect where the cursor is and insert some text at its location? Thanks.

I imagine the answer is waiting for you somewhere at msdn.microsoft.com
Wow I'm in a really unhelpful mood today, sorry. Not that I know the answer anyway.

Melbolt, your method works, but I figured out you can do it with this code
textBox1.SelectedText = <SomeStringHere>;
