[Win32API] Edit Control and EN_CHANGE help

[mekkatorqu]

so I have this code which basically finds any "-" except in first place and adds endstring there, this works fine however when I use WM_SETTEXT it will place that thingy that shows u where u re typing (I have no idea how's it called lol :P) to the start, how do I set it to the end? example how it looks like in editcontrol after finding another "-":

|-5.5
//it should look like this
-5.5|

case IDC_ARMOR:
				{
					if(HIWORD(wParam) == EN_CHANGE)
					{
						char armor[8];
						GetDlgItemText(hWnd, IDC_ARMOR, armor, sizeof(armor)/sizeof(char));
						for(int i = 1; i < strlen(armor); i++)
						{
							if((int)armor[i] == 45)
							{
								armor[i] = '\0';
								SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_ARMOR), WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)armor);
							}
						}
					}
					break;
				}

Use EM_SETSEL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb761661(v=vs.85).aspx . Set both the start and end to the same value, which would be the end of the contained string.

BTW, it is called "caret".
