Text highlighted

[Federica Pavese]

I want to highlight a text in a Textbox control.
¿What may I to make?

Take a look at the 'SelStart' and other textbox related properties in the VB Help files

Use the SelLength,SelStart,SelText object properties. The following code will highlight the text in a text box from beginning to end. Just substitute the name of your text box.

textbox.SelStart = 0
txtbox.SelLength = len(textbox.Text)




Cheers for now

Just use the following lines of code. (Assuming the tectbox is called txtName.......


txtName.SelStart=0
txtName.SelLength=len(txtName)




Enjoy........

This is one of my favorites:
(try this on "click" or even on "gotfocus" event)

SendKeys "{home}+{end}"

Autoselect Text
To make a TextBox automatically select its text when focus enters it, give it a GotFocus event handler like this:
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
SendKeys "{home}+{end}"
End Sub
Or use SelStart and SelLength:
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
End Sub
