EditBox Cursor Placement
Question:
When I set text in a single line editbox that is longer that the visible area of the edit box, the last portions of that data is what is displayed to the user.Is it possible to set a long string of text to an edit box, but then move the curser back to the begining of the editbox so the user sees the begining portions of the data instead?
I see there is a trick to make it work for multi-line edit boxes, but couldn't find anything to work for single line edit boxes.
I'm running 2003J.
Answer:
You will need to send the EM_SETSEL (177) and EM_SCROLLCARET (183) message to the edit box using one of several SendMessage mechanisms (dllcall, control manager's csendmessage, or IntControl 22) . You will also need to get the Windows handle to the control.6.1 Format Dialog Sample
; Highlight MultilineBox using SendMessage EM_SETSEL cntrlnum = 002 EM_SETSEL = 177 controlhandle = DllCall(DirWindows(1):"USER32.DLL",long:'GetDlgItem',long:MyDialog_Handle,long:cntrlnum+99) SendMessageA( controlhandle, EM_SETSEL, 0, 0)
6.2 Format Dialog Sample
; Highlight Multiline Editbox cntrlname = "MultiLineBox_1" EM_SETSEL = 177 controlhandle = DialogControlGet( MyDialog_Handle, cntrlname, DC_HANDLE ) SendMessageA( controlhandle, EM_SETSEL, 0, 0)
