After clicking a button I use clear_text() on a wxTextCtrl to reset the contents
to empty. I would like to also position the cursor in that same wxTextCtrl as the
active control so that the user can then paste new text into the control. I've
looked through the wxEuphoria documentation and haven't been able to locate a
solution. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Joel

Have you tried set_focus()?

Thanks, Matt. I'm still trying to get a handle on programming for Windows and
making easy mistakes. I was confused until I read that any object based on
wxWindow can used procedures that require a window parameter. I didn't realize
that this meant that most controls could be specified as the window parameter in
procedures such as set_focus(). I think I've got that right, at least. Thanks for
the help.
