Cursor

This property set or retrieves the cursor position inside an entry-field. If the value "-1" is assigned to this property, the whole text in the entry-field is selected and the cursor is positioned at the end of it.

Note that if it is necessary to position the cursor in a multi line entry-field, the Cursor-Col and Cursor-Row properties should be used.
