here is the oldschool way to do it. It will probably also be possible with caret positions or something, using .NET
This is the form code. Put two richtextbox's on the form and set the
vscroll event for the first textbox to the myRichTextBox1_VScroll
method.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace RichTextBoxScroll
{
public enum ScrollBarType : uint
{
SbHorz = 0,
SbVert = 1,
SbCtl = 2,
SbBoth = 3
}
public enum Message : uint
{
WM_VSCROLL = 0x0115
}
public enum ScrollBarCommands : uint
{
SB_THUMBPOSITION = 4
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport( "User32.dll" )]
public extern static int GetScrollPos( IntPtr hWnd, int nBar );
[DllImport( "User32.dll" )]
public extern static int SendMessage( IntPtr hWnd, uint msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam );
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void myRichTextBox1_VScroll( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
int nPos = GetScrollPos( richTextBox1.Handle, (int)ScrollBarType.SbVert );
nPos <<= 16;
uint wParam = (uint)ScrollBarCommands.SB_THUMBPOSITION | (uint)nPos;
SendMessage( richTextBox2.Handle, (int)Message.WM_VSCROLL, new IntPtr( wParam ), new IntPtr( 0 ) );
}
}
}
