get_carretPosition() always returns 0 in keypressed event on client-side

[Mehmet]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to accept users' credit card number into 4 maskedtextboxes. When user completes every four digit in the box, I shift the focus to the next text box.

For that reason I tried to check the carret position whenever user presses a key. But unfortunately everytime the carretPosition results with 0.

Is there any work around or is it natural for carretPosition to be 0 in keypressed event on client side?

You can find the code below :

 <script type="text/javascript">

               function goNextCreditCardTextBox(sender, args) {
            
                if (args._keyCode > 47 && args._keyCode < 58) {
                   alert(  $find(sender._clientID).get_carretPosition());
                }
            }
   </script>



<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="creditCardNumberTextBox1" runat="server" Mask="####"  Width="27">
          <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="goNextCreditCardTextBox"  />
</telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>
<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="creditCardNumberTextBox2" runat="server" Mask="####"  Width="27">
          <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="goNextCreditCardTextBox"  />
</telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>

<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="creditCardNumberTextBox3" runat="server" Mask="####"  Width="27">
          <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="goNextCreditCardTextBox"  />
</telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>
<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="creditCardNumberTextBox4" runat="server" Mask="####"  Width="27">
          <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="goNextCreditCardTextBox"  />
</telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>

I understand that this is a know issue, but isnt there any work around at least to save my application? In a few weeks we are planning to publish the site and I do not want to make any trouble to my customers?

King Regards,
