Question

I am trying to get such effect:
When I click textbox,the caret moves to index 0
example “hello” (|hello)
now when I write something, I want the text to appears before “hello”
example “hello2hello”

i have already used function such as:

.Select(0,0);

.CurrentIndex=0;

.SelectionStart=0 SelectionLenght=0;

those functions only have effect in events KeyDown or TextChanged events.
Unfortunately those actions don’t produce the desired effect.I get mirrored look of what I typed. example(instead of hello I get olleh)
how to change index of the caret after clicking inside the Textbox?

Answer 1

Try this

public string TBName = "";
private void txtResult_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (TBName != ((TextBox)sender).Name)
    {
        ((TextBox)sender).SelectionStart = 0;
        ((TextBox)sender).SelectionLength = 0;
        TBName = ((TextBox)sender).Name;
    }
}

You can link it to multiple TextBoxes then as well
