How to set Cursor position in SWT Text

Question

I am trying to set the cursor position of SWT Text to the end after appending string. I am aware of changing cursor position of SWT StyledText, but not sure of SWT Text. If you people have come across this Challenge and found the solution kindly share it.

Answer 1

Have a look at Text#setSelection(int):

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Display d = new Display();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(d);
    shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));

    Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER);

    text.setText("Some random text here...");

    text.setSelection(text.getText().length());


    shell.pack();
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed())
        while (!d.readAndDispatch())
            d.sleep();
}

This will set the cursor to the end.
