TextBoxControl

[wy125]

Hello,

I'm working on a smartdevice project and one of the controls I have is a textbox whose multiline property is set. The problem I have is that I want to get the cursor to remain at the end of the text in the control. The way I do it in Windows applications works fine:

display.Select(display.Text.Length, 0);

display.Focus();

However, this doesn't work in my smart device project, which seems really strange to me. I figured out a way to do it but it makes the screen jump up and down. Here is the code I used:

display.Select( display.Text.Length, 0 );

display.ScrollToCaret();

I do that after each character is appended to the box. But after each character is appended, the text box goest back to the top and then to the bottom when I move it there with the above code. This all makes the control appear jittery when I'm adding text to the box after the scroll bar is activated.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I generally use

txtEdit.SelectionStart = txtEdit.Text.Length;

Did you use that code in a Smart Device application?

The code you gave me works fine when I'm working on a windows application but for some reason it doesn't work when I'm working in with a textbox in a smart device app.
