I've searched the web for an answer, but i was not able to find a way to hide the caret of a RichTextBox in VB.NET.I've tried to set the RichTextBox.Enabled property to False and then change the background color and foreground color to non-grey ones but that did not do the trick.

I am making a program in VB.NET and need to hide the Caret in textboxes.
I could live with it being either completely hidden or just the same colour as the textboxes background colour. How can I go about doing this? I would prefer to stay away from Custom Controls if at all possible.
In a .NET 3.5 application, i want to get caret position in a RichTextBox control. The RTB is not XAML. Also, the RTB doesn't have CaretPosition property as described here: [URL] What is the simplest way using which i can get the caret position?
EDIT:To be more specific i want to find out what is the position of the caret from the start of the line on which it is positioned. I can get the line number by using GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb.SelectionStart) but not the offset from the start of the line.
there is any way to change the caret? (no the Cursor icon but the vertical little bar at the typing position)
the caret is really very tiny and I like to have option to change it to an yellow block, an red blinking underline or so.
How would I go about changing the actual shape of the RichTextBox caret?
I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?
I need to insert a table in a richtextbox where the caret is positioned.
how can i do this without using the clipboard?
How do I set the caret position in a System.Windows.Forms RichTextBox? ScrollToCaret in not Working. Here are my Registry settings. When I save to the registry, It saves. When I try to get were I left off from the previous read, It leaves me at the beginning of the file and not where I left off. [Code]
View 2 Replieseven Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome.

I have a form with multiple richtextboxes that have synchronized scrolling (ie when one RTB scrolls, the other RTBs scroll down with it). The only problem I have is that I have 10 RTBs, which means 10 scrollbars in total. I would like some of them to not show for simplicity reasons. Basicly the scrollbar of RTB1 to show and hide the rest.

View 1 RepliesI'm using a richtextbox and I format the text (color) during keypress.. (like visual basic language: text in black, "dim" in blue, "comments" in green...)

View 2 RepliesIs there a way in the RichTextBox to change the Blinking cursor to a blinking _ like is dos or hide it all together? Or is there another object that I can use to simulate a dos prompt without it actually being a dos prompt where I can write text to it via code?
View 5 RepliesI'm creating a new windows form application based on an existing AS400 application (don't ask).Now the users are used to have a fat, white, blinking caret all over the place, so the first thing they mentioned when they saw my initial release was "where did the cursor go?" "We don't know which field we're filling in"
I tried to explain that there is in fact a cursor inside the textboxes (and that it is called a caret), but they want their big, fat cursor back.After some searching on the internet, combining snippets, I managed to make the caret look like I want (in fact you can use any bitmap image as a caret as long as you invert the colours).Now this seems to work like a charm for textboxes but they want the same caret when they edit a cell of a datagridview (who could have guessed)

I have console application embedded in a Panel on my Form. The problem is that the Vertical scrollbar of this application always stays at the top, and I would prefer that I was always able to see the caret (prompt) so I can see the latest info.
How do you force a Window to display the caret?
Do solutions give the option of the caret being at the top of the window or the bottom? I would prefer that the carat is at the bottom so I can see all the info immediately prior to the caret, as in this screenshot.
This may sound a daft question but how can you remove the caret from a textbox after the text has been entered without having to use the mouse to click outside the box.The reason for this is I have a textbox which when the user clicks the mouse on it a virtual keyboard allows them to enter text which is then displayed in the textbox. If the user got it wrong and wanted to reload the virtual keyboard they have to move the mouse outside the box, click and then re-enter again.
View 3 RepliesI have a login form with a background image. The image is OK during coding but not perfect when run. Now, I tried to superimpose two textboxes on it, one for username and one for password. However, unlike a normal form there is no caret in any textbox even when clicked. Though text can be entered in the textboxes, the characters are also say blurred.
View 6 RepliesThis is what I am trying but it doesn't work. The idea is to rest the caret position at the beginning after I hit enter and the conents od Textbox1 are deleted

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

I am using a virtual keyboard I have created to write text to a textbox. Before I start typing the caret is showing the current typing position and will continue to do so if I use the physical keyboard. The problem I have is as soon as I enter a character using the virtual on-screen keyboard the caret disappears and will not come back until I use the mouse to click inside the textbox. The following is the code I use for entering an 'h'
Private Sub H_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles H.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV") Then
My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV")

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?
