stupid question

i want to highlight text in a textbox such that the cursor is positioned at
the beginning of the text after highlighting is complete. the problem is
that the text is longer that the textbox's diplay area and when highlighted,
the cursor is at the end of the string.

i've played around with this but can't accomplish it in a timely manner. any
help is appreciated.

tia,

steve

apparently there is no way to do it efficiently other than
sendkeys.send("{END}+{HOME}")
