Setting cursor at the end of any text of a textbox [duplicate]

Answer 1

There are multiple options:

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.SelectionStart = txtBox.Text.Length;

OR

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.CaretIndex = txtBox.Text.Length;

OR

txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.Select(txtBox.Text.Length, 0);

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Try like below... it will help you...

Some time in Window Form Focus() doesn't work correctly. So better you can use Select() to focus the textbox.

txtbox.Select(); // to Set Focus
txtbox.Select(txtbox.Text.Length, 0); //to set cursor at the end of textbox

Answer 4

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.
