Get char at position in textBox

Coding · 03-19-2008, 08:17 PM

This code tells what position the cursor is in a textbox.
Let us say that this position is 10.

Now is my question, is it possible to know what character it is if any on position 9 in the textBox.
Is it possible to put the character on position 9 to a string ?

Code:

int position;
position = textBox1->SelectionStart;

textBox1.Text[9] will return a char with the value of the character in position 9.
