title: Set cursor position in a UITextField (Monotouch)
body: <p>In a UITextField used for entering decimal numbers I would like to get rid of possible leading zeros (The behavior should be like the one of the Calculator App). Normally this would be rather easy to implement but I just cannot figure out how to restore the cursor position.</p>
  
  <p>UITextField has a property SelectedTextRange of type UITextRange which can be used to get the cursor position. However, there seems no easy way to get the current index nor to create a new UITextRange object that contains the new values.</p>
  
  <p>I could find the solution in objective c: <a href="http://neofight.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/finding-the-cursor-position-in-a-uitextfield/" rel="nofollow">Finding the cursor position in a UITextField</a>
  It is however very unclear to me how to rewrite that in Monotouch. Any help with this would be highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Manuel</p>
