>Hallo
>I have problems to place the cursor in a text with th keyboard. My users who allways are using the keyboard are very irritated over this "bug". I hope I can explain so you understand me:
>
>When the whole or a part of the text in a field are selected (bluemarked), it is natural that if I press left arrow key, the cursor will be placed immediately after the makred text and if I press the right arrow key, the cursor will be placed immediately before the maked text. That works in allmost all programs, it works on the text in this message to.
>But in my VFP7 applications it dont work the same.
>An example:
>If I mark a part of the text in a textbox from position 5 to 12 and then use the arrow keys, the following happens. Press right arrow key and the cursor will be placed in position 6 (between letter 1 and 2 in the text that was marked before I pressed the arrow), press left arrow key and the cursor will be placed in position 4 (1 letter BEFORE the marked text???!!!)

>Does anyone knows how I should do to have this to work like in other programs? I have this problem in all types of fields that you can mark and edit.

>Please help me before my "keyboardusers" get mad at me.
