Greetings,

I am not sure if this is possible, but within ArcPad
Studio 6.0.1.2OU (ArcPAd is basically pared down desktop
GIS software for PDAs). I am doing my development on a
Windows 2000 machine, but the resultant code is placed on
an IPaq handheld.

I have an edit control in a form. The control is bound to
a DBF file and shows data if it is populated or "0"
(integer field in the DBF) if it is not.

I want to be able to highlight whatever text is in that
control (i.e. background of selected text is navy blue,
the text is white, and the caret/cursor is all the way to
the right of the selected string).

The tools that are being written are for handheld devices
that field workers will be utilizing with a stylus. The
fewer the clicks/taps they must make with the stylus, the
more efficient their use of our tool.

Any idea then, on how to highlight text in a VBScript edit
control ?

Best regards,
Jason Ramirez
