Auto place cursor to "right" of text in text box ? 1

[cgc22]

Hi,
I am using visual foxpro 8.0. I have "forms" that I've created that requires text within a "text box" to be edited
by the user. What property or method within a textbox or
edit box do I use to make the "CURSOR" upon entering a
textbox (by pressing the ENTER KEY) to automatically go the the "far right" of the "end" of the text in that text box? The cursor always enters the textbox on the far left
side which is inconvient for the user to backspace out
text we want to delete ! I also have this same problem when entering textbox within a grid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put in GotFocus Event of that TextBox:

this.SelStart = ALLTRIM(this.Value)+1

If you want to do that ONLY when the user enter to that TextBox with ENTER key:

IF LASTKEY() == 13
   this.SelStart = ALLTRIM(this.Value)+1
ENDIF
