Solution 1

If you mean the vertical bar that indicate where your characters will go when you type, then you want the RichTextBox.CaretPosition[^] property

Did you real the answers in this block? Unfortunately, both are wrong. One merely shows SelectionStart, another one tries to show mouse position instead!
My advice would be removing this answer unless you can fix it to something new and useful.
Thank you for understanding.
