Setting cursor at the end of any text of a textbox

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

You can set the caret position using TextBox.CaretIndex. If the only thing you need is to set the cursor at the end, you can simply pass the string's length, eg:

txtBox.CaretIndex=txtBox.Text.Length;

You need to set the caret index at the length, not length-1, because this would put the caret before the last character.

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
