set caret position to the end in Edit Box

[big_denny_200]

Hi all again :) I have edit box, where I display long texts(file paths). Problem is that I want the user to be able to see the last part of the text displayed in the Edit Box(it is a file name). How can I do this ? thank you.

1. CString str = edit.GetWindowText() 2. SetSel(str.GetLength(), str.GetLength())

Have a look at the PathCompactPath() and PathCompactPathEx() API functions. They can convert a long path string like: C:\path1\path2\sample.txt to C:\pat...\sample.txt so that it fits within your display window.
