If you want to do it via CTRL+A, you have to write a keypress event for the form:
Public Sub Form_KeyPress() If Key.Code = Key["A"] And If Key.Control Then TextBox1.SelectAll Endif End And if you want to have the text selected automatically when the text box gets the focus, do: Public Sub TextBox1_GotFocus() TextBox1.SelectAll End Am 11.11.2010 08:01, schrieb Demosthenes Koptsis: > Good morning to all, > > While setting properties or any text that is in a textbox i wanted to > press CTRL+A to select all the word and then press BACKSPACE to delete > it and next to write a new one. > > But the CTRL+A is not working and i need to press many times the arrow > keys to set the pointer to the end of the word and then to press many > times BACKSPACE to delete the word. > > I know this is not so a big deal but if i do it many times is annoying. > > Is it possible to enable the SelectAll feature for any textbox or any > other control that contains text so to manage more fastest the strings? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
