I have an Edit control in a GUI.

I want to move the insertion cursor around in it.

Specifically, right now, I'd like to at least be able to move it to the end (bottom) of the Edit control's text.

Searched about a bit, but didn't find anything.

Anyone got clues/ideas/techniques ??

thx

The simplest way is to just send (or ControlSend to be more reliable) keys. You can use the arrows to move one character at a time, and also the {Home}, {PgUp}, {PgDn}, and {End} keys.

Use ControlSend to send the keys {ctrldown}{end}{ctrlup} to the edit control.

The best way to make sure you get the correct control is to use the hwnd option when creating the control. This option puts the control's hwnd into a variable. Then you do this:
Code:
ControlSend,, {ctrldown}{end}{ctrlup}, Ahk_ID %Variable_With_The_Edit_Controls_HWND%
