I'm using this piece of code to select a small length of text on my text box.
It seems to be working alright, but I can't see the area of text being selected. I mean, if the text is there, the back of the search box shows up green, like i've set it up to do and if it's not, it shows up red. I just cant see area of text being selected. It's strange...Code:Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim lngPos As Long Dim searchText As String searchText = Text1.Text If searchText = "Find what?" Then Exit Sub lngPos = InStr(1, txtData.Text, searchText, vbTextCompare) If lngPos > 0 Then Text1.BackColor = &H80FF80 txtData.SelStart = lngPos - 1 txtData.SelLength = Len(searchText) Timer1.Enabled = True Command2.Visible = True Else Text1.BackColor = &H8080FF Timer1.Enabled = True End If End Sub
Any ideas?
