Mask edit box

[abtm]

Hi! i'm trying to select all text in a mask edit box when focus so that the user can change the default text (today's date). The select doesn't work and selectall is not a member of the maskbox. Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks.

The MaskEdBox control in Visual Basic 6.0 is replaced by the Windows Forms MaskedTextBox control in Visual Basic 2005.

MaskedTextBox got .Select and .SelectAll methods inherited from TextBoxBase, so this code works fine:

    Private Sub MaskedTextBox1_Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles MaskedTextBox1.Enter
        MaskedTextBox1.SelectAll()
    End Sub
