Getting XY location of text within TextBox/RichTextBox

How to get coordinates of certain character within TextBox and/or RichTextBox?

I will try to explain this through function:

Point GetXY(int characterIndex) {
    //do some magic
    return new Point(x, y);
}

Idea is to find where selected text is located so Find dialog will not be displayed over this location but moved to side (like Word is doing).

You can do this by using interop to SendMessage an EM_POSFROMCHAR message.
