Positioning cursor at the end of the text in a RichEdit control

I use the following code in an attempt to position the caret at the end of the text in a rich edit control:

    int len = GetWindowTextLength(editwin);
    SendMessage(editwin,EM_SETSEL,0,MAKELONG(len,len));

Unfortunately it appears to highlight (select) the entirety of the text. I can't figure out what I did wrong.

From the documentation for EM_SETSEL:

Parameters

wParam The starting character position of the selection.

lParam The ending character position of the selection.

So you need to pass len to both wParam and lParam.
