Hi,
Can't figure out how to highlight text in a textbox for reentry of input.
Used to do it with SelectLength and SelectStart but this doesn't seem to
work with .NET.
Ideas?
TIA,

Larry,
Did you know that the Enter event is not a keyboard event but has the
oposite meaning from leave control.
"Enter, gotfocus, leave, validating, validated, lostfocus"
Maybe you did want to use this, but I doubt it,
I think you want a button or something or a keyevent like keydown.
Just some guesses

Hello everyone
I have a question,
How can I search a string (called TextBox1.Text) in "e.Item.Cells(0).Text"
and if this string exist, then it will be highlighted (yellow), only the
string.
Thanks

Hello
When tabbing in a textbox that contains text, the text string is usually
highlighted so that if the user starts typing new text in the textbox, the
old text is erased.
Is there a way that when tabbing in the textbox, the text string would not
be highlighted and the cursor would go to the end of the text string where
the user could just start typing in new text without erasing the old text.

I thought when you tabbed into a textbox that the text it contained
was automatically highlighted. This use to be the default in win32.
Is there an easy way to do this in .NET. I don't want this to happen
if the mouse is used to select the TextBox.
Seems wierd, If the Textbox has the default text in it the higlight
works but not if you edit it.
Thanks.

I have a text box select items in a listview as text is being typed
into the text box. I get the select bar to move correctly in the
Listview control.
If the user presses the down or up key in the text box, I want to move
to the selected item in the listview box.
The down or up arrow does set focus to the listview box and the
selected item switches from the grey of being unfocused to the blue of
focus. So far, so good.

I asked this question a couple of days ago but am just now looking at it
again.
I used to use the textbox gotfoucs event to have all the text in the
textbox selected when it gotfocus. That doesn't seem to work in .net
when the textbox receives focus via a mouse click.
Jeffrey and Shane both advised how to get a mouse click to select all
the text (thank you both) but using the mousedown or mouseup events
doesn't work the way I want it...

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...

I want to be able to select a word when I highlight over any part of

This will be used multiple times in the script for specific words, not

I know this is normal operation for the C# TextBox control, but it will not show highlighted text as being highlighted until focus is given to that particular control. I was wondering, is it possible to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a teeny problem that I cannot solve.
I load HTML Source into a textbox and have a "find' button that
searches through the text using the Instr Function, and highlights the
result using the Selectionlength and Selectionstart properties.
This is working perfectly, however if the source does not fit in the
textbox, I sometimes have to manually scroll down to see the
