Click event in a text box?

[SMCmtg]

What is the command to go to the beginning of a field when txtbox is clicked and the field is empty? Imput mask is ### and format is slect all when you tab to it and it has data, but if I click to the txtbox and its field is empty how can I automatically be to the left?

IF EMPTY(mytable.mynumber)=.T.
???
endif

Appreciate any feedback!

in the gotfocus event of the text box, put the code
IF EMPTY(This.Value)
KEYBOARD {HOME}
ENDIF

Forgot the quotes, there, Ramani )

IF EMPTY(This.Value)
KEYBOARD "{HOME}"
ENDIF

To be real picky, just in case somewhere HOME has been redefined (with a recorded macro or OKL), it should be:

IF EMPTY(This.Value)
KEYBOARD "{HOME}" PLAIN
ENDIF

Thank for your feedback, appreciated!

I discovered I did not need the snipet. . .(I discovered I had the alignment property set to "left" as vs "automatic" . . .the default. . ..
