If we give you the code how will you learn... atleast attempt to do it.

You barely attempt anything and just ask for it. How about you you try and post what you try and we will correct it.

I will get you started

Wrong Function.

code:

---

var EM_POSFROMCHAR = 0xF0D6;
var POINTL = Interop.Allocate(8);
Interop.Call('user32',
             'SendMessageW',
             pPlusWnd.GetControlHandle('txtMyEditControl'),
             EM_POSFROMCHAR,
             POINTL.DataPtr,
             0);
// Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the point.
Debug.Trace('POINTL.ReadDWORD(0) : '+POINTL.ReadDWORD(0));
//Specifies the vertical coordinate of the point.
Debug.Trace('POINTL.ReadDWORD(4) : '+POINTL.ReadDWORD(4));

To be fair, anything with Interop.Allocate usually stumps me. The only time I managed to do it on my own was getting the mouse position (around 5 months after my first script). Some people learn better from examples than from MSDN (I have to admit MSDN is usually pretty complicated in it's explinations and often doesn't give the relevant HEX codes you need meaning you have to trawl google for them).
