Hi I am using C# WinUI 3 WinAppSDK for my app.

I want to set the position of the cursor to a specific line in the multiline textbox.
I've searched the web a lot but couldn't find suitable answers.

For example, I have 34 lines of text in a textbox.
I want the cursor to scroll to the 31st line of the textbox.
How do I initiate this?

    Hello @Hemanth B ,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    At present, it can only be achieved by selecting the text content, but the specific line cannot be operated directly, which may require calculation.

    You can go to GitHub and ask if there is a better solution.

    Thank you.
