Hello, 

I have been searching a way to display text cursor position in a
compiler application which displays error messages that indicate the row
and column error, I need the user to be able to find its current
position in the input text which is in a TextArea component. 

I have tried using CaretPosition but I dont understand what is it
returning an if I can use it to find out row and column.

Thanks
Alejandro
