How to highlight textbox.text?

[cesarfrancisco]

This feature is implemented in almost all application with textboxes.
If the user returns via a mouse selection into a textbox, the textbox.text is highlighted - ready for editing.
Is this possible in VB?

You are probably interesting in anything of Textbox related to "Select..." like properties SelectedText, SelectionStart, SelectionLength, HideSelection and methods Select and SelectAll.

Ah , SelectAll is to select all the text
SelectionLength and SelectionStart ' value are a integer, use the two proptery can select part of the text

Solution (or at least one solution):

Private Sub txtboxMS_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) _
Handles txtboxMS.MouseClick, txtboxFN.MouseClick, txtboxLN.MouseClick, txtboxDOB.MouseClick
        Dim numBox As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
        numBox.SelectAll()
        numBox.Focus()
End Sub
