ThrowFocus into a field with text

Hi all,

I want to throwfocus into a field that has text  in it, automatically positioning my cursor after the existing text, so the user can add to the automatic data.

How would I do this?

Look in the Programming Guide on page 160. You'll find a command CursorPosition with an example of how to do what you describe.

Blair,

Ray just reminded me that we have an open issue that , due to the nature of ThrowFocus(), it overrides any  CursorPosition calls. We're looking into it to see if there's anything that can be done about it.

I was worrying I had a ForceRedraw() that was causing the problem ... oh well.

Maybe 1.1.5?  Grin

Hey Blair,

Just saw your new avatar. You must be our only user with a database that won't fit in his car.

If each record was on a 8'5 x 11" piece of paper, you'd be right ...  Grin
