Selecting part text in a textbox
I tried to doing it like this but I still can get it to select the text, if
the user enters let say more than 5 digits I want to highlight the extra digits to give the user a chance to view or delete it.

Selecting part text in a textbox
Did my code not work ?
Exactly when and how do you want this to happen, are you calling the code from an event ? Which event ? Do you have some annoying messagebox prior to this action ? Don't. Seeing your code would help me help you. Best wishes Harald "vqthomf" skrev i melding ...

Harald I do have a message explaining that the user has entered more or less
than 5 digits but I also wanted to highlight the part that is extra. Charles "Harald Staff" wrote: Did my code not work ?

Sure, go a head, highlight the extra parts. My code sample showed you how to
do it. Best wishes Harald |
