How to get the caret's position in a richedit?

[Thommi]

Hi all, I am writing a MDI application, which views are derivated by CRichEditView. In the status bar, I want to display the current position of the caret. The line number is easy to get, just call GetRichEditCtrl().LineFromChar(-1), but how to determine the column? Thanks in advance, Thömmi

long startChar, endChar; GetRichEditCtrl().GetSel(startChar, endChar); startChar marks the start of the selection and endChar the end. If there is no current selection then the two values will be the same and will indicate the position of the caret.
