wxpython textctrl How to find out where the text pointer is

I nee开发者_开发问答d 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.

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...?

You can use PositionToXY() to find out the line number of a given insertion point, rather than hunting for or counting \ns.

lineNum = self.LogWindow.PositionToXY(curPos)[1]   # lineNum is the y coord from PosToXY()
