Textbox select

i want a text box's text to get selected when it gets focus

Correction.. This will do it.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Text1.SelStart = 0
  Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
  text1.setfocus 
End Sub

hi actually i tried to use these properties as well but couldnt something out of it
can u explain the purpose of these as well !

I figured it out.
SelStart tells it where to start the selection
SelLength tells it how long the string is (the length gets calculated)
SetFocus HIGHLIGHTS it.

It took a minute, but I figured it out. :wave:

just like dat
thnkx alot
