title: How to position cursor in a multi line text box when you set Go to line?
body: <p>I am currently trying to make my own version of notepad using VB.net 2008 Winforms and I have a problem in making my 'Go To' feature. To explain the situation, I have a 'Go to' sub menu wherein if I type Go to line 8 and hit OK..the blinking cursor should go to line 8 of the multiple line text box. I have implemented a code to know where the current line and column of the cursor but I don't know how to reverse that code so that i can command the blinking cursor to move in that specified line in the multiline textbox..</p>
  
  <p>Code to identify current line and column:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   Public Sub linecol()
      Try
          xid = txtpad.SelectionStart
          linenum = txtpad.GetLineFromCharIndex(xid)
          xpoint = txtpad.GetPositionFromCharIndex(xid)
          xpoint.X = 0
          colnum = xid - txtpad.GetCharIndexFromPosition(xpoint)
          linenum += 1
          colnum += 1
  
          stat.Text = "Ln " &amp; linenum.ToString &amp; ", Col " &amp; colnum.ToString
      Catch ex As Exception
          Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
          MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
      End Try
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And my problem is how to go to a specify line in that textbox.like going to line 8...</p>
