Auto select in a text box
-
This should be a softball for some of you. :) I want to have all of the text in a textbox highlighted when I enter (click, tab, etc) into it. How do you do that? Thanks in advance!
Use the selectionstart and selectionlength properties, set them to 0 and the length property of the text.

TextBox.SelectAll()

Create a handler for the GotFocus event & use SelectAll method. This works for tabbing between controls. Select all on click is a difficult, because the control uses mouseDown to set the caret. You could handle the MouseDown event in the same way as GotFocus & see if you like the result. Rob
