Pressing F2 goes into edit mode within a cell.

By default this highlights the entire cell contents.

Is there any simple method of setting this so it automatically places the cursor at the end of the text, so you can type more stuff in.



This is the way Excel works, and I would like to have our application work in the same manner.



Thanks

<QUOTE>Colin,



Set up a "hidden" menu item with an "accelerator" of "F2". Add a script to this menu item as follows...



FOCUS=@WINDOW:'.TABLE_1'

POS=GET_PROPERTY(FOCUS,'SELPOS')

RESULT=SET_PROPERTY(FOCUS,'SELECTION',-1)

RETURN 1



You might want to also enable this accelerator when your edit table has focus (gotfocus) and disable this accelerator when your edit table loses focus (lostfocus).
