Cursor Position After String Update

[cevert73]

Hi,

I'd like to update a string by clicking on a button, which then concatenates the existing string with another, and then have the key cursor move to the end of the updated string once it's brought back into focus.

Example;

I have the existing string abcd with the key cursor as follows - abcd| , when I click the 'a' button I want abcda| , not abcd|a where '|' represents the key cursor position.  On another note, I don't want to have the added string highlighted, I'm aware of how to achieve this.

I've searched for the answer to this but I can't find it.

Thanks.

LabVIEW 8.5, if possible.  Cheers.

It's a little tricky because there isn't a specific "cursor position" property. You need to get the string length and use the selection->start and selection-> end properties. You set them both to the same thing (string length)

Just what I was looking for.  Thanks a lot!

Cheers.
