How is it possible to designate a textbox so that when the .aspx page is
displayed the cursor is already there so the user can just start typing
instead of having to click in the textbox with the mouse first?

you can use Javascript to do it. Put this in your html code:
<script language=javasc ript>
document.Form1. myTextBox.focus ();
</script>
where Form1 is the name of your form, and myTextBox is the name of your
textbox.
you can also use .select instead of .focus if you want to highlight any
existing text in the box.

Is there a library function for placing the cursor position in the

call?
I was able to do this in Windows with a Windows.h function, but I want
to also do it on Linux/Unix as well.
I won't ask for a Linux API call that positions the cursor, as that is

Hi, I'm quite new to C# allthough I've been programming in other
languages for quite a while.
I'd like to change the blinking cursor inside a TextBox, I guess I
must derive the class and override the OnPaint()-method, however I
have no clue what to do next. I want to be able to switch the blinking
cursor to a solid, non-blinking, cursor and preferable have it with a
color.
So, how should I do that?
