Cursor Position in TextField

| Is there a way to control the cursor position in a textfield? Problem Example: I have a textfield that contains "apple" with the cursor at the end (after the "e"). I then change the text using SetGadgetText(textfield,"Pineapple") The cursor is now after the "a" and I can't seem do do anything about that. Unless I'm missing something simple here I think it's time to learn another API call... |

| OK, I've found it... Here's how to set cursor/selection in a textfield (probably a textarea too). EM_SETSEL = $B1 SendMessage(QueryObject(textField,1), EM_SETSEL, startPos, endPos) Remember: startPos/endPos are 0 based, use the same value for startPos/endPos to position the cursor, use different startPos/endPos values to select some of the text EDIT: ...and now i find this: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=25196 |
