positioning cursor on screen with two textedit controls on it

[Former Member]

I have a screen with two textedit controls on it.

The left one is for history ... just display.

The right one is for entry of new text.

When the screen pops, the cursor is positioned in the lefthand textedit control.

How do I position cursor in the righthand textedit control?

Thanks

Hi,

Try this..Call the static method set_focus of the class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT..and pass the instance..

Ex..

CALL METHOD cl_gui_textedit=>set_focus

EXPORTING

control = my_editor "instance of the class.

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_ERROR = 1

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2

others = 3

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hope this helps..

Thanks,

Hi David, use the SET_FOCUS method.

Hi Rich/Naren -

I gave the 6 and the 10 the way I did because I already knew it was the set_focus method - I didn't know how to pass the control that the underlying method was looking for - that's what Naren's example showed me.

Thanks again to both of you.

You da best.

Just a note to let you know that worked as expected.

Thanks again.
