[RESOLVED] other methodes of "RTB.SelStart = Len(RTB.Text)"

[ksuwanto8ksd]

this code is working fine, but any other ways of doing this code?

Private Sub RTB_Change()
RTB.SelStart = Len(RTB.Text)
End Sub

because its cursor will round back once and then go to the end of the sentence. it couse vertical scrool bar to go up and down.
any idea? thanks for any help.

Don't know if it will be the answer, but an easy test.

RTB.SelStart = Len(RTB.TextRTF)

try this
Private Sub RTB_Change()
RTB.Visible = false
RTB.SelStart = Len(RTB.Text)
RTB.Visible = true
End Sub

this code won't cause what you said. It must be caused by whatever is triggering this event in the first place. If you are overwriting the entire text of the textbox with new text it will reset the cursor to the beginning.

lavolve and isnoend07 your code have no diffrent with mine, thanks.
Lord Orwell how do I prevent cursor from going back to the beginning ?.

Maybe you should so us your code. Especially what happens before setting the cursor to the end of the RTB control.

[Lord Orwell]

if you are appending text to the end of a rtb, there are two ways to do it:
1.
rtb.text = rtb.text + newtext

and 2
RTB.SelStart = Len(RTB.Text)
rtb.seltext = newtext
rtb.selstart = len(rtb.text)

The problem with 1 is it resets the line position because what you are actually doing is erasing everything in the textbox and rewriting it again. You shouldn't expect the cursor to be in the same place when you are done.

#2 appends text onto the existing text and you shouldn't have any problems with cursor position.

There are more advanced methods of working with a rtb involving editing the .textrtf or the .selrtf properties but depending on your application they may not be necessary.

[isnoend07]

If you want new text on a new line then you can do

rtb.selstart = len(rtb.text)
rtb.seltext = vbnewline & newtext
