>>>I am using a read only edit box in VFP 7 to display the changing status of some processing.

>>For the CTRL+END to work you must set the focus to the control first. You can try in the Refresh of the form, to set the focus toi the control, and then set it back to the control you like

It has to be added after the refresh method, 'cause if you add it before, the refresh will put the edibox at the beggining again.
