Question

I would like to be able to override the default behaviour for positioning the caret in a masked textbox.

The default is to place the caret where the mouse was clicked, the masked textbox already contains characters due to the mask.

I know that you can hide the caret as mentioned in this post, is there something similar for positioning the caret at the beginning of the textbox when the control gets focus.

This should do the trick:

    private void maskedTextBox1_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         this.BeginInvoke((MethodInvoker)delegate()         {             maskedTextBox1.Select(0, 0);         });              }
