Rather than simulating text highlighting, try simulating the change in focus.
The actual focus would always stay on the field. However, you could use a custom prop to define a pseudofocus. When that property is set to a different object, like the combo box, then text gets diverted (using key down handler) to that object. It would be tricky, including the need to simulate the blinking text cursor, but it should be doable. Good luck, J Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "G.

Hi all, I don't know how to manage this: On a card I have a field with text and a combo box. With the combobox the user can change the textsize of the selected text of the textfield. That works good when I set the traversalOn of the combobox to false. The User then can use the menu of the combobox while the selection in the textfield keeps visible. But when I set the traversalOn of the combobox to true, so that the user can manually enter a textsize in the field part of the combobox, the selection in the textfield disappears because the textfield lost its focus. One way I tested was to store the selectedChunk in a custom property on selectionchanged and when the user has entered the textsize in the combobox and presses return or enter the textsize and the selection for the selectedchunk (I stored in the custom property) of the field is set. But there is a period of time the user doesn't see his selection in the textfield. Is there a way to keep the selection of a textfield visible while the focus is on another control? I hope you understand my request despite my poor english. Thank you very much in advance.
