Hi,

Im working on the WinUI3 desktop app in cpp. I want to get the Insert or overwrite feature in TextBox like this

insert

I was not able to find this feature by default in WinUI3 TextBox. I tried to get KeyDown Event and check for Insert Key, But i Didn't get Key down event for Insert Key press.

In this case how to achieve the behaviour in TextBox?

Thank you

If you click on [Ins] key, it switch Insert/Overwrite (with same cursor)

Yes, weird, I did some tests and I don't receive the event on [Ins], [Suppr] and Left key if not at beginning...
