Can the insert/overwrite mode be set in VB? 2

[petersJazz]

I have a form where it would be convienient if when I enter one field the insert/overwrite mode be set to overwrite. That means the default text (in my case "534444435544354434" is 18 hole of golf) should be overwritten.

Is there any other smart way to register result from 18 hole of golf, it need to be easy to put in the numbers, not 5 enter 3 enter ...

Hi,

The usual way of 'overwriting' in a textbox is to select to content when the textbox recieves focus (so that when you press a key the text is replaced):
---------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------
