Move cursor to end of text on entry of fill in

Wed, 2009-08-12 08:51 — Cringer

Anyone got any bright ideas? On applying entry to a fill in, we need the cursor to be positioned to the very right of any text already in the fill in, and the fill in value should not be hilighted. That means a user can start typing without overwriting what's there. Any ideas gratefully received.

Move cursor

CURSOR-OFFSET Attribute
The character offset of the cursor within a widget.
Data Type: INTEGER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies To: Browse-cell, Combo-box, Editor, Fill-in
Assigning a value to CURSOR-OFFSET moves the text cursor to the specified character offset.
If the editor widget is not already realized, Progress realizes the widget when you query the CURSOR-OFFSET attribute.
On Windows, both the regular editor and the large editor support CURSOR-OFFSET.
