Xceed MaskedTextBox does not start at beginning when focused

I am using Xceed MaskedTextBox;

<xctk:MaskedTextBox Mask="000-000-0000" x:Name="PhoneTextBox">
     <xctk:MaskedTextBox.Style>
       <xctk:MaskedTextBox.Style>
           <Style.Triggers>
              <MultiTrigger>
                 <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
                   <Condition Property="Text" Value="___-___-____"/>
                 </MultiTrigger.conditions>
              </MultiTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
       </xctk:MaskedTextBox.Style>

When ever I click in the text box to enter a number, it always positions my cursor where i clicked instead of at the beginning of the textbox. This causes the user to start typing a number and quickly running out of room since if they click near the end, they can enter fewer numbers.

Q: Is there a way to click anywhere in the box and have the cursor start position at the front?

picking up on Gary Wright answer. how to position on the last character in the masktextbox

int startPos = MaskTextbox1.MaskedTextProvider.FindUnassignedEditPositionFrom(MaskTextbox1.MaskedTextProvider.LastAssignedPosition + 1, true);
MaskTextbox1.Focus();
MaskTextbox1.Select(startPos, 0);
e.Handled = true;

Something like this should work for you; in the markup:

<xctk:MaskedTextBox x:Name="MyMaskedTextBox"  Mask="(000) 000-000" PreviewMouseDown="MyMaskedTextBox_PreviewMouseDown"></xctk:MaskedTextBox>

And the event handler:

private void MyMaskedTextBox_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    MyMaskedTextBox.Focus();
    MyMaskedTextBox.Select(1, 0);
    e.Handled = true;            
}

On the call to Select, pass the index of where you want the cursor to be, depending on your mask.
