I have a text box with a displayed string already in it. To bring the cursor to the textbox I am already doing
txtbox.Focus();
But how do I get the cursor at the end of the string in the textbox ?
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
For Windows Forms you can control cursor position (and selection) with txtbox.SelectionStart and txtbox.SelectionLength properties. If you want to set caret to end try this:
txtbox.SelectionStart = txtbox.Text.Length;
txtbox.SelectionLength = 0;
For WPF see this question.
Solution 2 - C#
There are multiple options:
txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.SelectionStart = txtBox.Text.Length;
OR
txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.CaretIndex = txtBox.Text.Length;
OR
txtBox.Focus();
txtBox.Select(txtBox.Text.Length, 0);
Solution 3 - C#
You can set the caret position using TextBox.CaretIndex. If the only thing you need is to set the cursor at the end, you can simply pass the string's length, eg:
txtBox.CaretIndex=txtBox.Text.Length;
You need to set the caret index at the length, not length-1, because this would put the caret before the last character.

Some time in Window Form Focus() doesn't work correctly. So better you can use Select() to focus the textbox.
txtbox.Select(); // to Set Focus
txtbox.Select(txtbox.Text.Length, 0); //to set cursor at the end of textbox
