  Is there anyway I can tell where the blinking cursor is located (character-wise) in the text of a textbox?

  Hi,
  
  You can find the position of the caret by using the textbox's SelectionStart property, eg.
  
  Dim theValue As Integer = TextBox1.SelectionStart

  Thanks ... In the Textbox1_Click event I used caretPosition = Textbox1.SelectionStart and it works. The problem I had with it at first was using the code in the Enter event instead of the Click event. That made all the difference. Thanks a million.
