Cut & Cursor

General
1

I want to cut out part of a text in a TextField. I’d like the cursor to stay where I cut out some text, but somehow it jumps to the end of the text.
How do I accomplish that to put the cursor at the SelStart position?

cb.Text = mid(FieldName.text,FieldName.SelStart,FieldName.SelLength+1)
FieldName.Text = left(FieldName.Text,FieldName.SelStart)+mid(FieldName.Text,FieldName.SelStart+FieldName.SelLength+1)

You need to re-place it at the correct SelStart after you reset the .Text value.

Forum code disclaimer.

dim iSelStart as Integer = txtDescriptiveControlName.SelStart
dim sTxtValue as String = txtDescriptiveControlName.Text
// Manipulate your sTxtValue
txtDescriptiveControlName.Text = sTxtValue
txtDescriptiveControlName.SelStart = iSelStart

That’s it!
I assumed that selstart had to do with a (partly) select text, and since it was cut out, there was no selstart anymore.
Thanks.
