[AccessD] Sel Start and Sel Length not working for me

Rats.  Still nothing.  I've done this before in other apps, too. And had it
work.

That was a bit of very old code, probably from 2k.  Switch the control out
for a textbox and see how that works.  Basically, what you're telling it to
do is start at the zero position and set the SelLength to the length of the
control.text in the control.

 Charlotte:

I pasted in the SelectEntire module and called it with Call
SelectEntire(Me.fldFHxDetaiMotherResponse) but no cigar.

Public Sub SelectEntire(ctl As Control)
  On Error Resume Next
  ctl.SelStart = 0
  ctl.SelLength = Len(ctl.Text) + 1
  If Err <> 0 Then
    ctl.SelLength = Len(ctl.Value) + 1
  End If
End Sub

Dear List:

In the got focus event of a bound text box I want to have all the current
text selected.  The box can only have a 0 or 1.It is bound to a field of
data type number

The following code should (I think, but obviously not) select all the text
in the box but doesn't.  Can anyone see why?

 

    Me.fldFHxDetailMotherResponse.SelStart = 0
    Me.fldFHxDetailMotherResponse.SelLength =
len(Me.fldFHxDetailMotherResponse)

I also tried:

    Me.fldFHxDetailMotherResponse.SelStart = 0
    Me.fldFHxDetailMotherResponse.SelLength = 1


just to make things simple.  But no soap.

 
MTIA,
