Cursor position in TextBox

Hi,
How do I get the position of the cursor (as character position) when it is
in a text box with no text selected?

Thanks

I just found that TextBox.SelectionStart will show Cursor Position even if
text is not selected.

The input mark is actually not called cursor. It's instead called caret.
