Rich Text "Set Cursor to end of text"

[James Ormiston]

Hi,

I have a rich text ActiveX control that I'm updating during the execution of my program.  The execution can be paused to allow the user to view the information returned.

As the user views the information the cursor can be set to any location in the rich text control.  When the execution continues the new information is inserted at the position of the cursor.

My question is... When the user selects to resume the execution is it possible to set the cursor to the end of the information previously gathered?  I've tried faking Ctrl+End (using FakeKeystroke (VAL_MENUKEY_MODIFIER | VAL_END_VKEY)) to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

James.

Hi James,

I've not heard of this being done before but if you are able to post what you have so far I can take a look and see if it's possible to do this on resume, also which version of CVI are you using?

All the best,

Hi Rob,

I've managed to solve the problem by doing the following:

     // Set the cursor to the start of the text.
     RichTextLib_IRichTextSetSelStart(richTestHandle, 0, 0);
     // Get all the text in the window.
     RichTextLib_IRichTextGetText(richTestHandle, 0, &text);
     // Set the cursor to the end of the text.
     RichTextLib_IRichTextSetSelStart(richTestHandle, 0, strlen(text));

Cheers

James.
