How do you control the cursor position in an @EDIT?

[Brak]

Hello,

I wasn't getting to much responce with my original question, so I have decided to approach the problem from a different direction - which needs a different question.

How can I (without using the KEYBOARD command to put arrow keys and such into the buffer) move the cursor in a particular @EDIT? How can I manually edit the cursor position in a particular @EDIT, without actually having the focus on the particular @EDIT, via code?


Thanks in advance.

The only way I know of would be to change the value of the associated table field and issue a refresh.
Foxpro 'objects' aren't really objects per se, they are merely bitmapped regions of the screen. Therefore, you can't access them the way you would using VFP.
I don't know a way to move the cursor around in an edit region. You can only take portons of the data and manipulate it with string functions like SUBSTR(), LEFT() RIGHT() or +.

The record in the dbf moves and then I issue the SHOW GET. So the value is changing.
What do you mean exaclty by refresh? I assume issue a SHOW GET, but the cursor possition isn't being lost as it would be with a SHOW GETS. How else can I refresh it?

And I'm using FPW 2.6a

He means do a SHOW GETS. You can't do what you're trying to do without stuffing the keyboard buffer.
