This function sets the current position of the carat (the text cursor) within the edit box.

Syntax

bool guiEditSetCaratIndex ( element theElement, int index )

Required Arguments

  • theElement: The exit box to be changed.
  • index: An integer referring to the desired position within the box.

Returns

Returns true if the index was successful set, false otherwise.

Example

This example makes the text cursor jump to the end of an edit box if the user is holding the Left Control button. 

function moveToEndOnClick()
	if ( getKeyState ( "lctrl" ) == true ) then --if he's holding down left control
		local text = guiGetText ( source )
		local textLength = string.len ( text )
		guiEditSetCaratIndex ( source, textLength )--set the carat index.  The function wont work anyway for other types of elements so no check is required.
	end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", getRootElement(), moveToEndOnClick )--add an event handler for this
