Hey,
Here is a quick question: I have two forms that I am using, and I need
to highlight the text in Form1 by clicking and dragging (obviously).
So, when I switch to Form2 (making it the focused form), I want to
still be able to see the highlighted text in Form1 even though the form
is not focused. When I click back to Form1, I see the highlighted text,
but if I focus Form2, I don't see the highlighted text. Is there a way
that I can change this? I've googled to no avail =(
Thanks so much!

You didn't specify, but I'm assuming the highlighted text is in a TextBox?
If so, set the TextBox's HideSelection property to false.

Hi Dave,
The same HideSelection Property can be applied for RichTextBox as well.
You can use: -
yourRTB.HideSelection = false;
-
to keep the selected text remains highlighted even the rtb loses focus.
HTH.
