Make the cursor go to the end

[Ted S]

Hi gang,

I want to date / time stamp a big scrolling text field with a script and then have the cursor taken to the end of the field. I know how to insert the date and time but can't figure out how to make a script take the cursor to the very end. How's it done?

Thanks,

-Ted

Use the Go to Field script step. If you leave Select/Perform unchecked, the cursor will be placed at the end of the data in the field.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually, that was the first thing I tried and it does indeed go to the end of the field but its too subtle for the casual user because the cursor is hidden. What I am looking for is to have the field actually scroll to the bottom too.

Nevermind, I just figured out how to do it.

Go To Field ["FieldName"]

Scroll Window ["To Selection"]

I thought that Scroll Window only scrolled the window. I guess I was wrong.
