Select Text in ASP:textbox

[tjherman]

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and writing all code-behind in VB. I'm setting the focus of a textbox after I run some calculations. I want to additionally select all the text in the textbox that I've set the focus to so that the user doesn't have to manually select the text and type. Can someone give me an example of how to do this programmatically?

You'll have to use javascript - see the "select" method or ask in the javascript forum for more info.

Use this:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="This is a text" onfocus="this.select();"></asp:TextBox>
