how to set cursor in textbox

[tinmanjo]

Hi,

 

Im strugling with an old hat problem with multiline textboxes, im programming in VBA and i want to create an emulated console for doing script like querying, however ive tried:-

 

text1.text=text1.text & vbcrlf & ">"

text1.selstart=len(text1.text)

 

but the damn cursor moves to the next line after the ">" eve though i havent made an extra carriage return, any ideas why this is happening?

Have you tried text1.selstart=len(text1.text) - 1

Have you tried text1.selstart=len(text1.text) - 1

 

Yes Ive tried -1,-2 ,3 gives error, im not sure if somehow the textbox changes focus after the change of Vbcrlf. the cursor suddenly jumps and creates a CR when i haven't added one.

Ah damnit, i just realised the default enter key setting was set to create new line.

 

solved.
