Move cursor inside node from selection

[MrPaul]

Consider the following XML:

sedan

If the selection is currently on the entirety of element:

sedan

How do I move the cursor directly after the [s]element[/s] tag?

Note: Selection.ContainerNode is . I want the ContainerNode to be . I am using XMAX v6.

There would be quite a few ways to do this. Here are a couple of the simplest. You might need additional code if your selection is not always guaranteed to be as you have described it.

Assuming you meant “directly after the tag” (not “element”, which would put it after the tag) this should do it:
Selection.Collapse(sqCollapseStart);
Selection.MoveRight();

This would result in the same selection:
Selection.Collapse(sqCollapseStart);
Selection.MoveToElement("car");

As would this:
Selection.Collapse(sqCollapseStart);
Selection.MoveToElement("");

And so would this:
Selection.MoveToDocumentStart();
Selection.MoveToElement("car");
