  In the BeforeColEdit event, I am stuffing the cell with a date stamp when the user clicks into it. I want the cursor to located at the end of this text so the user can type and their content would be appended. The problem is the text in the cell is highlighted so when one types it wipes out the existing content. Is there a way to prevent it from selecting the text?

  I know the user can click once more to put the cursor at the end of the text unselected, but would like to avoid this step if possible.

  TrueDBGrid version 4.0.20172.271

  Hello,

  In order to achieve your requirement, I would suggest you to use the following code in MouseDoubleClick event:
  
  C1TrueDBGrid1.SelectionStart = C1TrueDBGrid1.SelectedText.Length
  
  C1TrueDBGrid1.SelectionLength = 0
  
  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,
