Position Cursor in Edit control?

Hi All,

How do I position the cursor within an edit control? I've tried
SetCursorPos and SetCaretPos and they seem to have no affect.

Thanks,
Steve

Try the SelStart property.

Edit.SelStart

Sep 14, 2009 - How to get the physical caret position in a TMemo, TEdit or TRichEdit. How to get the caret position of a Memo or RichEdit control? I don't mean any character position. Original resource: The Delphi Pool. Also there you have the complete reference for edit: In code (no messages) you would do something like this. Solution 1) save the caret position before lines are added and scroll back to it afterward. Surround with a beginupdate endupdate to minimize flashing. I.e., save caret position beginupdate add lines scroll back to save caret position endupdate. Problem with this is I still get a flash once every block read (about 10- 20 lines). I presume the TextBox is not a Delphi component? – Francesca Oct 8 '10 at 5:16 The SendMessage function is an API and there is no rule to using windows APIs for our project only. For example we use this function to fill the yahoo messenger Textbox, Editbox, Box, Field. Totally: 'TextBox' is a virtual box on computer that we type on it.

Re:Position Cursor in Edit control?

I need to set the cursor to the end of the text or, if no text exists,
set it to the beginning ot the edit buffer. How is SelStart going to
help? In the OnEnter event of the control, I tried:

TEdit(Sender).SelStart := 0;

This had no affect on cursor position.
