Currently when i select all the text in a textbox (me.textbox1.selectall ) the caret ends up at the very end of the text. I would like the caret to end up at the beginning of the selected text but i cant find anyway to set the caret position. Thanks for any help.

hi
Me.TextBox1.SelectionStart = 0
Me.TextBox1.SelectionLength = 1 'will select only 1 letter
Me.TextBox1.Focus()
it will select the first letter in the textbox
but if u want to get the caret in the first position and also select the whole text then i don't know why you want to implement that b/c its not the selectall or selection is designed
