[Mono-winforms-list] GetPositionFromCharIndex

[Maser, Dan]

  Ahh, excellent!  Many thanks for your time and effort on these
methods.

  Here's what I have on my list that involves TextBox controls left to
be done:

* In my app I have some text boxes with the read-only flag set.  As
expected, those text boxes ignore typed keys.  However, if I select some
text, then right-click, then pick 'Delete' from the context menu the
text from the textbox is deleted.  I think the 'Delete' option on the
context menu should be greyed when the textbox is read-only.

* The textbox doesn't seem to honor the new 2.0 ContextMenuStrip.  In my
app I assigned a ContextMenuStrip to the textbox control.  But when I
right click it, some kind of default context menu strip is shown always
and my custom one is never shown.  I also noted that the textbox's
'ContextMenu' property is null, so it's not a mistake with the
ContextMenu overriding the 'ContextMenuStrip'.   From what I can tell
the proper behavior is:
	1. the 'ContextMenuStrip' should be honored if non-null
	2. the 'ContextMenu' property should be honored if non-null
	3. search the parent windows for a non-null 'ContextMenuStrip or
'ContextMenu' and show that if non-null.
	4. if none of the windows to the base parent have a context
menu, then show the default textbox context menu with the
Copy/Paste/Delete choices.

* I Have these two bugs that I filed about TextBoxes still in the 'NEW'
state:

   Again, thanks for your time and effort!

It would.  Which is why I did :-).

Those four similarly named functions are all implemented now.  I'll be
working on finishing off the rest of the 2.0 text control functions this
week. 

Are there any in particular that you are using, that you would like to
see implemented?

Cheers,
