This example shows how to position the cursor at the beginning or end of the text contents of a TextBox control.
Define a TextBox control
The following Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) code describes a TextBox control and assigns it a Name.
<TextBox Name="tbPositionCursor"> Here is some text in my text box...</TextBox>
Position the cursor at the beginning
To position the cursor at the beginning of the contents of a TextBox control, call the Select method and specify the selection start position of 0, and a selection length of 0.
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0);
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
Position the cursor at the end
To position the cursor at the end of the contents of a TextBox control, call the Select method and specify the selection start position equal to the length of the text content, and a selection length of 0.
To position the cursor at the end of the contents of a TextBox control, call the Select method and specify the selection start position equal to the length of the text content, and a selection length of 0.
0,0 will place the caret at the beginning. The Focus() will be given to the TextBox focus and scrollToCaret will scroll the scrollbar to an appropriate position.
For <input> or <textarea> elements, you can use the setSelectionRange method to place the cursor at a specific index. This method also allows you to select a range of text by providing different start and end indexes.
This is sometimes referred to as the text input cursor. The caret appears in elements such as <input> or those with the contenteditable attribute. The caret is typically a thin vertical line that flashes to help make it more noticeable.
To position the cursor at the end of the contents of a TextBox control, call the Select method and specify the selection start position equal to the length of the text content, and a selection length of 0.
A caret (sometimes called a "text cursor") is an indicator displayed on the screen to indicate where text input will be inserted. Most user interfaces represent the caret using a thin vertical line or a character-sized box that flashes, but this can vary. This point in the text is called the insertion point.
The whole world has called it a cursor or pointer at least since Xerox PARC commercialised the mouse in the 1980's. A caret is a mark used by writers to indicate a missing word or words in a line of text.
In computing, caret navigation (or caret browsing) is a kind of keyboard navigation where a caret (also known as a 'text cursor', 'text insertion cursor', or 'text selection cursor') is used to navigate within a text document. A caret flashing in a text entry box.
The setSelectionRange() method is used to select the text in the input field. It takes two parameters to start and end the selection. We can select the last character using the setSelectionRange() method to put the cursor at the end of the text.
Three functions enable you to identify the current cursor position: CCOL, CROW, and COFF. These functions return the current cursor column, row, and offset, respectively, for display devices.
The best way to accomplish this is to use the TextBox.Text.Insert(int indexSelectionStart, string text). What this method does is insert text into the TextBox at the index you specify - it uses string string.
Use the SetCursorPosition method to specify where the next write operation in the console window is to begin. If the specified cursor position is outside the area that is currently visible in the console window, the window origin changes automatically to make the cursor visible.
