How to select all in Textbox?

[Brett]

I have a textbox with a heigth of 384. I put a lot of text into it and must
scroll down to see it all. When I do Ctrl + A, it doesn't highlight all of
the text. I have to manually drag my mouse to get the text. Is there a way
to engage the select all?

Thanks,
Brett

Are you referring to programmatically selecting the text or the user
selecting the text? At runtime you can select the whole text by calling the
textbox' 'SelectAll' method.

Brett,

I remember seeing a similar query on this list, so you might want to check
it out. But here is a code snippet that selects all the text in a textbox and
assigns it to a string var.

///
Dim str As String
TextBox1.SelectAll()
str = TextBox1.SelectedText
\\\

I don't mean programmatically. I mentioned Ctrl + A, which is keyboard
access.

Thanks,
