moving the cursor in text

[Jimmy]

Hi all,

How can I move the cursor in a editable text box through code. So if the
user pushes the 'home' key I can move the cursor to the start of the text
box.

Thanks
Jimmy

I believe you'd use the selStart and the selEnd

you set them to the range of the selection you want in the text. If you
want the cursor to be after the second character you'd use the selStart = 2
and the selEnd = 2

I don't remember if 0 or 1 is the first position.

Same thing just using dot syntax. Better way? What could be better than a
simple line like that?
