Getting text line from textarea

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Getting text line from textarea

How do I get a string containing the current line in a textarea? Currently I can get the line the cursor is on, but I can't find a way to get the entire line of text which the cursor is in.

Anyone?

Edit: Found this http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=56289&hl=TextArea%20line

Example of getting entire line under cursor.
Great for the syntax highlighting I'm working on :)

Local MyWindow:TGadget=CreateWindow("TextArea Example", 40,40,400,400)
Global MyText:TGadget=CreateTextArea(0,0,380,360,MyWindow)

AddTextAreaText(MyText,"The Quick Brown Fox~n")
AddTextAreaText(MyText,"Jumps Over The Lazy Dog.")
Local cursorpos:Int

Repeat
  WaitEvent()
  Select EventID()
  Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
     End
  Case EVENT_GADGETSELECT
    cursorpos=TextAreaCursor(MyText)
  End Select
  SetStatusText MyWindow, TextAreaText(MyText, TextAreaLine( MyText, cursorpos), 1, TEXTAREA_LINES)
Forever
End
