Set Focus
 

Hi,
I use set focus on a user form to move the cursor to text boxes after
certain events. What I want is instead of a cursor is to have the text box
"highlighted" so that I don't have to delete the existing value before
typing in a new value. I'm not sure what to call this format or if there is
a method/property for it in VB . It's like when you drag the cursor over
text and the background goes black ready for editing - this is the state I
want my textbox to be in after an event. How do I do this?

Regards
gregork

Set Focus
 

With TextBox1
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(.Text)
End With
