Select Text in TextBox
I have a userform with four text boxes. When a user activates the Enter event
for any text box my code places a certain value in that box. That part works fine, however I want it to also select the text once it is entered programmatically. THAT part does not work, no matter what I have seemed to try. Private Sub py4_Enter() 'Change text then.... with py4 ..selstart = 0 ..sellength = len(.text) ..setfocus end with end sub even moving the setfocus or REmoving it helped none. Am I missing something simple here? -- When you lose your mind, you free your life. |

Select Text in TextBox
it loops through the other textboxes adds their values together, then
subracts that amount from a given total. THen plugs that amount into the text box that was just clicked. The looping does not in anyway setfocus or select the textboxes being read. -- When you lose your mind, you free your life. "Bob Phillips" wrote: Works in my limited test.
