Add an text in the cursor position in an textbox in vb.net

Question

hello, i need to add an text at the end of the cursor position in vb .net i tried

 TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Insert(TextBox1.SelectionStart, "<br>")

it works but the cursor position sets to starting position

Answer 1

Just re-set the SelectionStart property after assigning the text:

Dim insertText = "<br>"
Dim insertPos As Integer = TextBox1.SelectionStart
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Insert(insertPos, insertText)
TextBox1.SelectionStart = insertPos + insertText.Length

Answer 2

Add this code after your code to move the caret to the end of your textbox value:

TextBox1.SelectionStart = TextBox1.TextLength
