    hello everyone,
    I am trying to develop a sample j2me app. I have used a TextBox and tried to set its string using textBox.setString("test") . What i have noticed that the cursor keeps its position at index 0 (first t letter) of the string when i tested it in Nokia E61i . Is there anyway to set the caret position of the the TextBox to a specific position ??????
    help me please.
    Thanks,

    This is not supported by default TextBox of MIDP, so you will require to write your own TextBox component extending the CustomItem provided by MIDP and implement this feature (ref to http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...put_in_Java_ME )... or Try using any UI lib's like LWUIT.
    Thanks,
    Ekta

    Just make a small trick. insert a free string at the end of the textbox.

    PHP Code:

    textBox
    .insert(""textBox.getString().length()); 
    It will set the cursor to the end of the text

    In Nokia, The trick must be extended. Otherwise, It is useless.

    PHP Code:

    String temp 
    textBox.getString();
    textBox.setString("");
    textBox.insert(temptemp.length());
    textBox.setString(temp);
