TextBox & EditBox Question

Hi all,

Is there a way to do this? When either a TextBox or
EditBox have focus it highlights the entire entry? i.e.
when I tab through a form with many fields, it will
highlight the contents of the Text & Edit Box. Right now
when I tab to a field, the cursor is at the beginning of
the box.

Thanks,
Mark

Set the format to "K"

Put the letter 'K' in the Format propert of the textbox or editbox (see help
on Format property).

Do you want to highlight the entry or do you want to change the Backcolor on
entry the textbox. If you want the last you could write in the gotfocus
method
this.Backcolor =rgb(255,0,0)
this.forecolor=rgb(255,255,255)

and in the Lostfocus method
this.backcolor=rgb(255,255,255)
this.forecolor=rgb(0,0,0)

Set the SelectOnEntry property to .T.

Thanks, that does the trick, one little problem, say I
want to change the info in the editbox after highligthed,
no matter what I do, the cursor always jumps to the far
let of the editbox. How can I click say in the middle or
end and remove and/or edit text at that point?

Thanks

Thanks both the K and the SelectOnEntry both work. However, the information
in the fields seem to be read only, it won't let me update the information.
When I click in the box, the cursor moves to the front of the editBox and it
won't let me go pass the first character position. It won't let me
highlight and delete either.

Any info you can provide would be great.
