Keeping focus

I have a ricktext box, and a combobox. The combobox is for changing the color of selected text within the richtextbox.
The problem is, I select the text I want to change the color of, but when I drop down the combobox, the Richtextbox loses focus and the text is deselected, is there a way to prevent this??

Private Sub combo1_Click()
RichTextBox1.SetFocus
End Sub

Private Sub combo1_Change()
RichTextBox1.SetFocus
End Sub

When you select the color, the RichTextBox will have the focus once again.

Does the selected text become unselected? if so, that whole process is pointless

Add this code to your form code to keep the text selected:

Code:

---

Private Sub RichTextBox1_GotFocus()
RichTextBox1.HideSelection = False
End Sub

Sorry, code in the above post will not keep the text selected when you replace it. I'll keep trying to find a solution.
