I have a MaskedTextBox with a prefix. I want the caret to be placed on the part after the prefix. 

E.g. OH00________
                 ^
                 \ -- Caret Here

But the caret actually appears here:

E.g. OH00________
          ^
           \ -- Caret Here

How can I make the MaskedTextBox behave this way?

<li><label>State ID: <input class="k-textbox"  name="state-id" maxlength="50" type="text" data-bind="value: stateId" pattern="OH00[0-9]{8}" validationMessage="Please enter a state ID in the form of OH0012345678"/></label>  <span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="state-id"></span></li>
$("input[name='state-id']").kendoMaskedTextBox({
              mask: "OH0099999999"
          });

Hello John,

I am afraid that the Masked input does not provide such cursor positioning API which you can use. The only way would be to try and to apply work-around such as this one:

Here is a small example:
