command button write to rich text box

[daveleo]

hello
i am trying to write the text "<BR>" into a rich text box control when a command button named [cmdLB] is clicked. i intend to mouseclick within the text already in the text box, then click the [cmdLB] button and write "<BR>" at the cursor location.

i am stumbling around my books here and cant think of a way to do that.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks, in advance.

Ok, I also hate hints so:
If rtb is the name of the fithtextbox...

rtb.Text = Left(rtb.Text, rtb.SelStart) & "<BR>" & Right(rtb.Text, Len(rtb.Text) - rtb.SelStart)

-bclt

.. or even just:

rtb.SelText = "<BR>"
