Pad cursor position in a text box in vb.net
I want to be able to pad the cursor in a text box so the cursor is not all the way to the left. I want to be able to specify the size of the padding. I have been looking all over the place and could not find anything to do this. For example. Below is a text box with the cursor all the way to the left. The second dash represents the cursor.

The easiest way I can think of it to put a TextBox into a UserControl, offset to the right. Make the UserControl back colour the same as the text box and set the text box border to none and the user control border to single.

As the text box is the only control in the user control, selecting the user control will move focus to the text box, but the cursor will appear to be padded as the text box is offset.

Obviously you'll need to pass the Text value through to the text box, and also some code to allow the padding value to be changed which will adjust the position of the text box, but you get the idea.
