Highlight text in textbox

E

Erwin Bormans

Hi all

I want to highlight all the text in a textbox when I click on it so the user
can start typing a new value straight away.

I tried playing with selstart and sellength but it doesn't work.

Anybody an idea.

Kind Regards
Erwin

Try something similar to the following in your click or doubel click event

Me.Text1.SetFocus
Me.Text1.SelStart = 0
Me.Text1.SelLength = Len(Me.Text6.Value)

where Text1 is the name of your textbox.

Sorry, I made a small typo. Here it is corrected.

Me.Text1.SetFocus
Me.Text1.SelStart = 0
Me.Text1.SelLength = Len(Me.Text1.Value)
--
Hope this helps,
