Setting cursor

[Champak]

Is there a way to set the cursor at the end of a block of text QUICKLY? Currently what I'm doing is getting the line count of the control, then sending the down key by that amount....which is the slow part....then sending the END key. Just looking for a much faster way because the sending the DOWN key can take very long depending on the amount of lines.

CTRL+END = Go to the very last position.

SHIFT+END = Select instead of move.

Can you guess which one you should use?

If you mean the very end of all text in a control - try "^{END}"

Edit: 2 slow :-)

Send me to typiiiing class.

What type of control is it? If you know that, then you could use a SendMessage method.

Otherwise, you could look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648394(VS.85).aspx

It's funny, the keyboard is the most basic thing on the computer and I learn at least one new thing abut it every six months or so. Thanks.
