>>Is there a way to determine the row and column pixel position of the text cursor in an input control such as a text box, edit box, or combo box?

>>We would like to be able to popup a small 'smart tag' like form in our edit boxes when we detect certain text patterns. Ideally we would like to popup this 'smart tag' like form relative to the position of the text cursor.

>>Any help or insights appreciated!
