Use window messages.

offset = EM_CHARFROMPOS
         or
         EM_GETSEL

row = EM_LINEFROMCHAR + 1
col = offset - EM_LINEINDEX(EM_LINEFROMCHAR(offset)) + 1

Note: result will be incorrect if the interrested line is long enough to
wrap to another line. It doesn't matter whether word-wrap is enabled or not.
That's a flaw within the default EDIT window class handler.
