I am using text boxes to get user input but I need to weed out unwanted key presses. In the old days I used a get statement and did it on the fly. I am trying to do the same thing in the text box but it keeps moving the curser to the far left. I want it to stay at the end of the entry. Sorry but the documentation does not help much since I don't know where to look.

Don't forget to also allow keys such as 'Tab', 'Enter', 'Delete' etc. _________________ RB 2009r4 Windows XP Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 4 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
