Select all text with mouseover effect... how?[Resolved]

Hi:wave:

i just saw an effect in an application that i would like to do it
the effect is... you have a textbox and if you move the mouseover the textbox the text highlights (select all) itself and if you move the mouse out of the textbox the text goes back to normal :)

ok i got this easy part

VB Code:

Private Sub txtID_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
With txtID
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
.SetFocus
End With
End Sub

that selects all the text in the textbox when user moves the mouse over but when i move the mouse out of the textbox is still highlighted :( any way to get what i want...

Thank you very much to whoever helps

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
txtID.SelStart = 0
End Sub

u may try this:

1) in the form:

blnSelect = false

private sub frmMain_MouseMove(........)
.......
if (blnSelect = true) then
' de-select text
blnSelect = false
end if

...

end sub

2) in txtID:
select/de-select text according to blnSelect,
then set blnselect value

if the txtID includes many lines,
this is more efficient, I think

Thank you!:)
