Selecting text - ComboBox

[Numbat]

Please can somebody help me to select all text in a combobox during the on_click or on_enter events. I can do it for a textBox but not a combobox.



Please help, the textbox code I am using is as follows:

Private Sub txtStart4_Click()
With Me.ActiveControl
.SelStart = 0
.SelLength = Len(Me.ActiveControl.Text)
End With
End Sub

Thanks,
B.

Hello:

If you had a form with a combo box on it name cboMonths and a command button named cmdSelect, The below code works:

Private Sub cmdSelect_Click()
cboMonths.SetFocus
cboMonths.SelStart = 0
cboMonths.SelLength = Len(cboMonths.Text)
End Sub

If your using the ActiveControl method, you may need to set focus to the control

Thnaks for your reply Mark,

The trick is to select the text during the on_enter event of the textbox. In other words, once the user clicks on the textbox, any previous text will be highlighted (selected) for immediate replacement.

Cheers,
