I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design. I handle the TextChanging event of a RadTextBox to prevent users from entering invalid characters. If they enter an invalid character, I set e.Cancel to false. While the text does not change, the cursor returns to beginning of the textbox. This is annoying if you don't notice you typed an invalid character. For example, if I were typing "Hello, world" and canceled the event as the space was typed, the TextBox would now read "worldHello,"
If it matters, I haven't upgraded to Q2 yet.

Hi Joel Kraft,
Thank you for contacting us.
Telerik controls are designed to mimic the behavior of the standard Windows Forms controls. In this sense the behavior of RadTextBox that you are experiencing is by design. However, you are right that the behavior does not seem to be convenient for the end user. The only workaround I can suggest you is illustrated in the attached sample project.
I hope it meets your requirements. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Boryana

Hello Rohan,
Thank you for writing.
Would you please confirm that you are using RadTextBox for WinForms? If this is the case, please provide further information about your scenario, as the sample project positions the cursor at the end of the text box indeed. In case you are using the RadTextBox of a different suite, e.g. ASP. NET AJAX, please open a new forum thread in the correct forum.
