> I'd like to suggest using SelStart and SelLength. I just

The problem, as I vaguely remember it, wasn't that the text wasn't actually

selected (using the selectonentry property for when the user keyboards onto

the control; using the KEYBOARD commands within the Gotfocus event when the

user mouses onto the control) but the visual blue-text-selected-clue wasn't

there showing the user that all the text was, indeed, selected but only when

the user keyboarded onto the control. The control showed all text selected

correctly when the user would mouse to it though. The control simply showed

no visual clues at all that it had focus. I tried using the

SelStart/SelLength stuff too and it behaved the same way.

I believe I got around that particular problem by manually changing the

backcolor property of the control during gotfocus and changing it back again

in lostfocus.

I had all kinds of problems with this clients' UI demands (seeing many

fields for each record in a grid at the same time without horizontal

scrolling) on this form. It was a fun one!
