How can i set the caret position to a specific index in passwordbox in WPF


You can try something like this to set the selection in the PasswordBox:

private void SetSelection(PasswordBox passwordBox, int start, int length) {    passwordBox.GetType().GetMethod("Select", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).Invoke(passwordBox, new object[] { start, length });}

After that, call it like this to set the cursor position:

// set the cursor position to 2...SetSelection( passwordBox1, 2, 0);// focus the control to update the selectionpasswordBox1.Focus();


No, the API for PasswordBox does not expose a way to do this.
