$$Excel-Macros$$ Selecting contents of a control

2011-10-25 Thread Chris Boxall
I should like to be able to select the contents of a TEXT BOX control on a Form.
I have moved the focus to the TEXT BOX using the .SETFOCUS method.  The box
shows the insertion point at the end of any text in the field.  However, it
would be nice to automatically select (from a VBA macro) the whole contents so
the user can provide completely new input easily.

Private Sub TextBox1_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As
Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)

Me.TextBox1.SelStart = 0
Me.TextBox1.SelLength = Len(Me.TextBox1.Text)

End Sub
