How to get Caret to Show after Document loads?

[Martin Hamilton]

I've tried several examples from this forum to try to get the flashing caret to appear in a loaded document but no matter what I do nothing seems to work.

For example:

            RadRichTextEditor2.CaretWidth = 1
            Dim position As DocumentPosition = RadRichTextEditor2.Document.CaretPosition
            RadRichTextEditor2.Document.CaretPosition.MoveToLastPositionInDocument()
            RadRichTextEditor2.RichTextBoxElement.VerticalScrollBar.Value = RadRichTextEditor2.RichTextBoxElement.VerticalScrollBar.Maximum
            position.MoveToNext()

I think the caret is at the end of the last paragraph but until I actually click on the document and hit the space bar or start typing, the Caret is not visible...

I'm sure there's a simple way to get the flashing Caret to automatically appear but it evades me.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Hello Martin,

You need to make sure that the editor is focused. Here is an example that shows this:

Private Sub radButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim doc = New RadDocument()
    Dim editor = New RadDocumentEditor(doc)
    editor.Insert("Test")
    radRichTextEditor1.Document = doc
    radRichTextEditor1.Document.CaretPosition.MoveToFirstPositionInDocument()
    radRichTextEditor1.Focus()
End Sub

I hope this will be useful.
