  Hi, wanted to know if you can change the color of the caret in a RadMaskedTextBox point. Today is black and I need to be white.
  Thanks

  Hi Cristina,
  
  The RadMaskedTextBox uses a TextBox internally to display its text. The TextBox exposes a CaretBrush property which you can use to change the color of the caret. You can modify the default template of the control and set this property on the TextBox inside.

  Can you provide the code example for this? I'm having the same issue. I'm using a theme that causes the background to be almost black, and it's impossible to see the black caret within the RadMaskedTextBox. I simply want to make the CaretBrush white in the RadMaskedTextBox.

  Hi Robert,
  
  I attached a sample project where I applied the Expression_Dark theme on the MaskedTextBox, however a custom style changes the default CaretBrush of the caret to White.
  
  Give it a try and let me know if it helps.

  That worked! Thanks! All I had to do was add this to my app.xaml:
  
  

  xmlns:telerikMask="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input"

  
  

  <Style TargetType="telerikMask:ExtendedTextBox">
    <Setter Property="CaretBrush" Value="White" />
  </Style>
