Prevent Mouse from changing caret location in Textbox.

Set the SelStart property to Len(Text1.Text) before adding more text with SelText.

Set the SelStart property to Len(Text1.Text) before adding more text with SelText.

I can't do that because sometimes the typing starts in the middle.

For example I'm framing something like this:

*********************************************** ' <- This border
The Extraordinary Tale of Sterling Soupforkinöv '   <- This is slowtyped in *after* the borders are created.
*********************************************** ' <- and this border are typed into the textbox first.

That's just one example. I have stuff like this all over the place. Trying to save the position of every bit of text the program is adding so I can restore the position if the user moves it will be a nightmare.

Because no one seems to be paying attention...

The new text isn't always at the end...

The new text isn't always at the end...

Then, if it's not the user, what's determining where it is?

And, as I stated before, keep track of your own SelStart, and set it whenever you add new text.

Then make an UserControl and encapsulate all that functionality in one place.
