Current line in a multiline textbox

Question

I've got my own custom TextBox control, wich inherits from System.Windows.Forms.TextBox. I've overrided OnKeyDown method, because I want to select the previous or next control if the user press either up or down keys.

    Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)

    MyBase.OnKeyDown(e)

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
        If Not Multiline Then
            Me.FindForm().SelectNextControl(Me, False, True, True, True)
        Else
            'TODO: If the current line is the first one, select the previous control
        End If
    ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
        If Not Multiline Then
            Me.FindForm().SelectNextControl(Me, True, True, True, True)
        Else
            'TODO: If the current line is the last one, select the next control
        End If
    End If

End Sub

In a multiline textbox, what is the better way to know if I'm in the first or last line?

Thanks very much

It's rough, but it should do the job.

    If Me.Text.IndexOf(Environment.NewLine, 0, Me.SelectionStart) = -1 Then
        'no new lines before
    End If

    If Me.Text.IndexOf(Environment.NewLine, SelectionStart) = -1 Then
        'no new lines after
    End If
