masked edit text box

[dlw68]

when the masked edit box receives the focus I'd like the text in the box to all be selected for easy replacement...due to a date picker dialog I cannot use a simple solution which was to blank the edit box when it receives focus because that simply removes the date selected from the calendar dialog form.

why couldn't you do something like this:

With MaskEdBox1
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = len(.Text)
End With




the text will be selected whenever the masked edit box receives the focus.

hope this helps,

John
