SetCursor position

[manju 3]

Hi all, I am trying to set the cursor for edit box to the next line: Here is the code i am trying,

CEdit m_TestCtrl;
CString m_Test1;
void CTest::OnChangeEditTest()
{
CString str,str1;
UpdateData(TRUE);
str1 = m_Test1; // reading the value from edit box
str1 += ":"; // Appending the value with ":"
int nLength = m_TestCtrl.GetWindowTextLength(); //trying to get the Length of Text from EditControl
m_TestCtrl.SetSel(nLength ); //trying to set the cursor after the character ":"
m_Test1 = str1; // Passing the appended value to edit Box
UpdateData(FALSE);
}

It is appending,but the cursor is going to the first position.
Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong

Thank you Manju

You need to send the edit control an EM_SETSEL message.

My first course of action would be to get rid of the calls to UpdateData(). Use GetWindowText() and SetWindowText() instead.
