selected text highlight

[humph]

I have a multiline textbox. Selecting text in it with mouse causes the selected text to go blue, but selecting it with code like this

Text10.SelStart = under
Text10.SelLength = over - under
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text10.SelText

while it goes to clipboard fine, doesn't make it go blue. I'd like it to go blue when selected in code. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Use the SetFocus method.

Text1.SelStart = 5
Text1.SelLength = 10
Text1.SetFocus

Forget the question! just realised I needed to set the focus

thanks

SetFocus is better, but I didn't write this code for nothing ;].

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Dim T As Long
T = Len(Text1.Text)
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = T
End Sub
