Insertion point

The default seems to be to have the insertion point appear at the end of the text - how does one programmatically put it at the beginning of the text? Thanks!

Hi Ivan, Could you please give more details on the edit behavior you want to achieve? Do you mean whenever you paste some text, caret should appear at the beginning of the pasted text? Thanks.

I have the editcontrol on a form, and in the form_Load I set the .text property of the control to some value. When the form appears, the insertion point is at the end of the text, and the textbox is scrolled to the end - I'd like it to be at the beginning - can that work? Thanks!

Hi Ivan, Please try the following lines of code when you set the text of the control, e.g., editControl1.Text = "Some text"; editControl1.CurrentLine = 1; editControl1.CurrentChar = 1; editControl1.ScrollToViewCaret(); Thanks for choosing Syncfusion.
