Can you please help me.

I have a program which is incomplete. I made a virtual keyboard but the left and right button is not working.

The plan was that every time the left or right button was clicked the text cursor also would move.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Without having at least some of the code we would only be guessing.
Use the "Improve question" widget to edit your question and post the code fragment where you handle the virtual Left and Right buttons, and a similar fragment for a working key.

Maybe you can try the TextBox.SelectionStart Property.

MIDL

void Left_Button_Click()
{
    if(myTextBox.SelectionStart > 0)
        myTextBox.SelectionStart--;
}
