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

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.

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
