Here's how I do it. Somewhere in your startup code define the variable

"plselect" make it public and set it to .F.

In the GotFocus event put:

this.SelStart=0

this.SelLength=len(this.value)

plSelect=.T. &&_Mark that object is selected

In the MouseUp event put:

if plSelect

this.SelStart=0

this.SelLength=len(this.value)

plSelect=.F.

endif

Kind of a pain but it's always worked for me.
