highlighting text in a textbox via textbox_enter


I use the following code to no avail.......

Private Sub txtCode_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles txtCode.Enter
i have tried this............
txtCode.SelectionStart = 0
txtCode.SelectionLength = txtCode.Text.Length
and i have tried this.........
txtCode.SelectAll()

End Sub

When i tab through the form the text in the textbox is
automatically selected. When the user clicks in the
textbox the text is not automatically selected
