I have a AddMultiLineEditText with options: read only, Highlight and status bar.
I works fine and the status bar indeed gives the Line and Pos.

Now I like to know how to get this status bar information.
```
  
self.AddMultiLineEditText(FIELDLEFT, flags=c4d.BFH_LEFT, initw=200, inith=200,
 style=c4d.DR_MULTILINE_HIGHLIGHTLINE | c4d.DR_MULTILINE_READONLY | c4d.DR_MULTILINE_STATUSBAR)        
```

Hello,

it seems that it is not possible to obtain the current line and position from that gadget. But it is possible to obtain the overall cursor position by sending the message BFM_EDITFIELD_GETCURSORPOS:
```
  
message = c4d.BaseContainer(c4d.BFM_EDITFIELD_GETCURSORPOS)  
message.SetBool(c4d.BFM_REQUIRESRESULT, True)  
  
pos = self.SendMessage(self._multilineID,  message)  
print(pos)  
```
best wishes,
Sebastian
