Yes, It works now when I put it in the gotfocus

In case you might need it for some future project, there is a corresponding ShowCarat API as well.

Thank you both of you :thumb: :afrog:

But i am afride on the follwing seane.

ok, assume you put that code on TextBox_Got Focus event.

Now you click on the text box, so the caret will not be displayed.
now you click another window i.e. task bar. now again you click your form to get back the focus. Now the caret will be shown on the text box ;)
