Hi all,
[Quoted] [Quoted] Having explicitly moved the cursor in a form to a given Text Item, I want it to then move to the beginning of the contents of the Text Item.
For example 'ADDRESS1' contains 'THE STREET' - I want to programmatically move the cursor to ADDRESS1, and have the cursor move to the beginning of _THE STREET (where '_' is). Basically, I am trying to lookup the ADDRESS from a postal code and allow the house number to be entered by the user, which I can do fairly easily, except when the cursor goes to ADDRESS1 it selects (highlights) the whole contents of ADDRESS1. (In Visual Basic it could be done using SelStart, SelLength and SetFocus...).
Any ideas for Forms 4.5 would be gratefully received. thanks
