how to select two texts at the same time? i wrote this but it doesnt show selected text or doesnt even select it

Textbox1.SelStart=Textbox2.SelStart
Textbox1.SelLength=Textbox2.SelLength

Try setting HideSelection to false on the textboxes.

You have two problems. First of all you can never have two texts selected at the same time and second, if you do that code, say, in a command button the command button takes the focus so neither textbox is selected.

hmm.. what about highlighting? actually i m trying to make a hex editor view with masked edit boxes. something like that:

[iRoN_RoCK]

i did it:

Private Sub Text1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Text2.SelStart = Text1.SelStart
Text2.SelLength = Text1.SelLength
Text1.SetFocus
End Sub

but now i have to adapt it to maskedbox but maskedbox hasn't a MouseMove event
