This handy routine automatically sets the focus and highlights text in a
textbox. Then as the user types, the text is automatically overwritten. Possible uses are:
- to direct users to invalid inputs after a validation routine
- on an input form with a text box, an OK button (default enabled) and a Cancel button
(cancel enabled) for repeated data entry, without continually reaching for the mouse
between each entry.
To make a TextBox automatically select its text use the SelStart and SelLength commands
as follows:
Private Sub cmdAutoHighLight_Click()
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
Text1.SetFocus
End Sub
