I don't have the answer. Found in VBA help the following but it doesn't
work. I think you need a form
TextBox Control, SetFocus Method, EnterFieldBehavior, HideSelection,
MultiLine, Value Properties Example
'
The following example demonstrates the HideSelection property in the context
of either a single form or more than one form. The user can select text in a
TextBox and TAB to other controls on a form, as well as transfer the focus to
a second form. This code sample also uses the SetFocus method, and the
EnterFieldBehavior, MultiLine, and Value properties.
To use this example, follow these steps:
Copy this sample code (except for the last event subroutine) to the
Declarations portion of a form.
Add a large TextBox named TextBox1, a ToggleButton named ToggleButton1, and
a CommandButton named CommandButton1.
Insert a second form into this project named UserForm2.
Paste the last event subroutine of this listing into the Declarations
section of UserForm2.
In this form, add a CommandButton named CommandButton1.
Run UserForm1.
' ***** Code for UserForm1 *****
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
TextBox1.SetFocus
UserForm2.Show 'Bring up the second form.
End Sub
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
TextBox1.HideSelection = False
ToggleButton1.Caption = "Selection Visible"
Else
TextBox1.HideSelection = True
ToggleButton1.Caption = "Selection Hidden"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBox1.MultiLine = True
TextBox1.EnterFieldBehavior = fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection
'Fill the TextBox
TextBox1.Text = "SelText indicates the starting " _
& "point of selected text, or the insertion " _
& point if no text is selected." & Chr$(10) _
& Chr$(13) & "The SelStart property is " _
& "always valid, even when the control does " _
& "not have focus. Setting SelStart to a " _
& "value less than zero creates an error. " _
& Chr$(10) & Chr$(13) & "Changing the value " _
& "of SelStart cancels any existing " _
& "selection in the control, places " _
& "an insertion point in the text, and sets " _
& "the SelLength property to zero."
TextBox1.HideSelection = True
ToggleButton1.Caption = "Selection Hidden"
ToggleButton1.Value = False
End Sub
'
' ***** Code for UserForm2 *****
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm2.Hide
End Sub
