Hello Shafqat,

Here is how to set the icon like in the demo:
radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.Image = Image.FromFile(@"C:\img\delete.png");
radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.ImageLayout = ImageLayout.None;
  
radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.ViewElement.Padding =  new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(35, 2, 2, 0);
radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.Children[1].Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(35, 2, 2, 0);

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Hi Shafqat,

Actually, my code is different than the code in the demo application. I am using the image property and the image will be painted on the left side.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any additional questions or concerns.

I see this is an old post, but it solves an design spec. I have.

in this example, how do you set focus to the textbox, such that the cursor is in the first position of the enter-able text area? 

The following places the cursor left of the image, and clearly isn't correct:

            txtUserName.TextBoxElement.Focus()

Hello, Mark,

According to your description I suppose that you have a RadTextBoxControl and an image on its left side. If you want the cursor to be displayed after the image you should set appropriate Padding to the TextBoxViewElemet which holds the text area. Please refer to the following code snippet which result is illustrated in the attached gif file:

radTextBoxControl1.TextBoxElement.ViewElement.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(20, 2, 2, 0);

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Nadya
