Hello and, first of all, DevExpress is awesome. It's really made my job easier. Now on to my question.

I am converting a text editor I'd built a while back and using the XtraRichEdit component. The text editor allows users to select a point in the document and create a chapter that scrolls to that point. To set the chapter point I use Units.PixelsToDocuments and GetPositionFromPoint. With the old version of my editor (which use the basic WinForms rich text editor) I just set the caret position to the point and used the scrollToCaret() to send the user to the entry.

I've been fiddling around with the .Document.CaretPosition but haven't found a way of actually setting the caretposition (which is an integer). I get the error Can not convert type int to ....DocumentPosition. I'm sure that there's a way of doing it but I can't find it. 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read and answer this post.

Hello David,

the Document.CaretPosition property requires a DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native.DocumentPosition object, representing the caret position, e.g.:

DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native.DocumentPosition dp = 
    richEditControl.Document.CreatePosition(56);
richEditControl.Document.CaretPosition = dp;
richEditControl.ScrollToCaret();
