BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Textarea detect cursor movement

I display the current line when the textarea is the eventsource,
but moving the cursor with the mouse or keyboard isnt treated as an event.
How do I make it into an event?

Look up SetGadgetSensitivity()

[edit] An EVENT_GADGETSELECT event occurs whenever the cursor or selected text region is modified by the user. Did you try that one already?

It does indeed work, as MaxIDE somehow manages to do just that.
Search the source of maxide for UpdateCursor() and you will find out how.
