Highlight text in textbox

[countdrak]

I open a new form with a single textbox when the user does something. I want the text in the textbox to be highlighted when it shows up. How do I do that?

Thanks.

Alter the background colour of the textbox when the user performs the action you want. What action is it they have to do?

Sorry maybe I wasnt really clear. I have a form- call it form1. I tab out(lose focus) from a text field in form1. A new form opens called form2. Form2 has a textfield with some text in it. When form2 opens I want the text in the text field to be highlighted. The text comes from a db. I know there a way of using SelLength and SelStart to achieve this. I dont know how! Thanks.

Got it thanks everyone.

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1)
End Sub
