Is it an intended design that when you click inside the radtextbox, that the cursor automatically goes to the front or first character in the text box?  For example, if you have "New Thread" in a text box, you mouse click inside the text box after the word "Thread"; a second later the cursor moves automatically back to the position just before the word "New".

Hello,

How a RadInput control behaves when it receives focus can be controlled by setting the SelectionOnFocus property. When the SelectionOnFocus property is None (the default value), the browser determines the caret placement and selection when the control first gets focus.

I don't see that property in the radMaskEditBox control.

Hi John,

All four RadInput controls support the SelectionOnFocus property. In addition, two of the RadInput controls, RadDateInput and RadMaskedTextBox, let you format their values differently, depending on whether they have focus. Try to set the Mask, PromptChar Properties of RadMaskedTextBox for formatting value with focus.

Thanks,
Shinu.
