wxpython textctrl How to find out where the text pointer is

I need to know where the text pointer (blinking line) is in the textctrl. I would also like to know if it is possible to get the entire line that the pointer is on, or if I would just have to write the code to get the current line from the pointer position.

Solution

  • You can use GetInsertionPoint() to find the current position of the cursor. You can use: len( self.LogWindow.GetRange( 0, self.LogWindow.GetInsertionPoint() ).split("\n") ) to get the line number itself.

    And then you can use: GetLineText() to get the entire line of text...

    So:

    curPos = self.LogWindow.GetInsertionPoint
lineNum = self.LogWindow.GetRange( 0, self.LogWindow.GetInsertionPoint() ).split("\n")
lineText = self.LogWindow.GetLineText(lineNum)

    In thoery that should work...?
