Setting cursor at the end of any text of a textbox [duplicate]

Question

I have a text box with a displayed string already in it. To bring the cursor to the textbox I am already doing

txtbox.Focus(); 

But how do I get the cursor at the end of the string in the textbox ?

Answer 1

For Windows Forms you can control cursor position (and selection) with txtbox.SelectionStart and txtbox.SelectionLength properties. If you want to set caret to end try this:

txtbox.SelectionStart = txtbox.Text.Length; txtbox.SelectionLength = 0; 

For WPF see this question.

Answer 2

There are multiple options:

txtBox.Focus(); txtBox.SelectionStart = txtBox.Text.Length; 

OR

txtBox.Focus(); txtBox.CaretIndex = txtBox.Text.Length; 

OR

txtBox.Focus(); txtBox.Select(txtBox.Text.Length, 0);
