I think Rick wants to build this capability in his own .NET-based application. These editors do illustrate that it can be done, though I think they are native C++-based, rather than .NET-based.

It may be possible with a skinny RichTextBox to the left of the main one. If it had the same top and bottom coordinates and the same font, then I think a line number in it would be on the same horizontal level as the code in the main RTB to its right. With the screen reader command to read the current line, however, only the text in the control with focus would be read (without special scripting). The key that reads the line containing the mouse pointer, however, may read both the line number and code on that line.

Is there some way of building a TextBox or RTB control to have the left side hold line numbers and the right be the input area? Using a ListBox to hold the line numbers next to lines in a TextBox or RTB gets really messy because of diferences in character heights for blank lines from one of the very few articles I have found on this subject. Is there some way to say have a line of length 1000, then limit the input area, hard boundries, to say the right 80 percent of the control so that navigation keys would never go into the left margin but the line number would read with the line swith the SayLine WindowEyes or Jaws commands? This sounds so basic but seems to be quite dificult to find examples of.
