covered the object model well and some available tools.My question to the
community is this.Would GW's advance scripting course teach me anything beyond
this?Thanks again Chip. A great contribution!Paul Bonarrigo

I have defined a dialog, holding an Editbox and a couple of buttons.
Everything is working fine, and I can use the MyEditBox.Text property,
and have some text filled into the editbox.
Yet, there seem to exist one small annoyance here. After the editbox has
been filled in, the cursor always land at the end of the text. Not a big
deal. The user can simply hit Ctrl-Home, and then start to arrow his way
down through the box. And if he has set his screen reader correctly, he
will have the whole contents read out automatically, once the editbox
gets focus.
Still, I wonder if there is - or could be made available - a routine for
placing the cursor at the top of the text, once the editbox has been
filled in and things are ready for reading. many users may not find it
very logic to start out at the end of the text. Imagine if you was
offered to read a book, and they presented you the back cover first
thing. Smile.
Any such routine-call existing, or any suggestions for a workaround? OK,
I have the idea of one workaround, even if it is a bit simplistic. I
could send a Ctrl-Hme command right after the editbox has been getting
the focus, but don't know if there is any drawback of doing so. That's
why, I wanted to check with other developers what their ideas might be,
or if they have fixed it by any means in their coding.
Thanks for all inputs.

Hi, Dave.
Set the SelectionStart and SelectionEnd properties to 0 to move the cursor to
the beginning.
Thanks,
Aaron
