Hello,

I have a WPF app that is running in Windows XP classic mode using VS 2008; I have a textbox cursor that works perfectly in Windows XP style mode, but when I switch to XP classic mode the cursor disappear and does appear unless there is text in the textbox. Also I have tested this out in Windows server 2003 and 2008 classic mode and the same problem occurs.

I don't think it's disappearing, I think it's blending in to the left border. Try increasing the Padding property on the TextBox.

I tried that it didn't work. This is what I have

 Padding="5,0,0,0" 

I put a character in the textbox. "d". I can see the cursor blinking on the right side of the d but when I move the cursor on the left side its disappears. Again this is in Windows XP classic mode.

Right now I have 12 textboxes that have that problem. The thing I am doing now is:

txtTitle.text=" ";
txtTitle.Selectionstart = 1;

And with this I can see the cursor again.

ok I couldn't edit previous post so I have to double post.

I solved my issue. It was because my textboxes were HorizontallyAligned to the Left and some had default alignment of center. All I had to do was align them to the right and change the margins. Which I had no idea why it happened in the first place.
