Editbox and set focus 1

[wlhbill]

I am using an editbox to display customer service notes from a memo field. I want to be able to set the focus to the end of the existing text so the CSA can type in more notes without having to first position the cursor to the end of existing notes.
I hope i'm overlooking a deceptively easy way of doing this.
Thanks in advance.

The 1st thing that comes to mind is:

(in the form INIT)

thisform.myeditbox.setfocus
keyboard '{ctrl + end}'

In the GotFocus() event, place the following:

THIS.SELSTART = LEN(ALLT(THIS.VALUE))

'We all must do the hard bits so when we get bit we know where to bite'

If you are using a record navigation control,
you should place the previous code in the refresh()
method of the editbox instead.

Thanks Darrell,
That's the 'deceptively easy way' I was overlooking!
