            {
                int c = 0;

                TextBox newtext= new TextBox();
                newtext.Name = "newtext" + c++;
                newtext.Location = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
                newtext.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 25);
                this.Controls.Add(newtext);


            }

thing is that I am typing text in richtextbox and then I want to place textbox between some words that I typed, is there a easier way to do it when cursor is behind the word or something like that

if you want to add to richTextBox add to Richtextbox.controls not this.controls

C#

private void richTextBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
       {

           if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
           {
               int c = 0;

               TextBox newtext = new TextBox();
               newtext.Name = "newtext" + c++;
               newtext.Location = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
               newtext.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 25);
               richTextBox1.Controls.Add(newtext);
               //this.Controls.Add(newtext);


           }
       }

i tried it it is working
check it again and be sure that this code block in side richTextBox_MouseDown
not in side Form1_MouseDown
