How do I get the API after setting a text box to goto the last word in the text box?

[gthkane]

I'm having a problem with figuring this out so, how would I goto the last word in a textbox after setting the text box text? For example I put the text "lala" into a textbox and it'll put the cursor to the beginning of the text how would I get the cursor to goto the end instead of the beginning?

Hai,
if its your own vb app then,

Me.Text1.SelStart = Len(Me.Text1.Text)
Me.Text1.SelLength = 1

I'm coding API for someone elses application and want to know how to get the cursor to the end of there textbox after it places text in it

oh is it,
hm, ill check it. did you check with spy++ for what messages are send when do such a thing. ok ill come back if i got a solution

May be there should be a simple way

[Fazi]

OK,

SendMessage(hwnd,WM_KEYDOWN,VK_END,0)

Should be working fine

Don't forget to put in

const VK_END = 35

before the code

Or you could use the EM_SETSEL message.
