Combobox - Highlight Text

[ClaireDH]

I have a simple form with a combobox and two text fields as well as two command buttons. I want to highlight the text in the text field portion of the combobox and move the cursor to that field. Anybody able to help me do this?

Thanks!

check on the property .SelLength & .SelStart

.SelStart should be able to move the cursor

How about something like this?


private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim Color as ColorConstants
Color = vbYellow

Combo1.BackColor = Color
Combo1.SetFocus

End Sub




Or if you wanted to highlight just the text and not the backcolor then you would use the forecolor property instead.

Hope this helps
