You must respond to the focus ABMInput.
Use this code, then no matter where you click in the text, the cursor will be positioned at the end.

Sub inp_GotFocus()
    Dim inp As ABMInput = page.Component("inp")
    Dim t As String = inp.Text
    t=t&" "
    inp.Text = t
    inp.Refresh
    inp.Text = t.SubString2(0,t.Length-1)
    inp.Refresh
End Sub

This seems indeed the way to do it cross browser. It surprises me that there isn't an easier way to do it. Even in JavaScript, people have to do weird stuff like:

$('#el').focus(function(){
  var that = this;
  setTimeout(function(){ that.selectionStart = that.selectionEnd = 10000; }, 0);
});
