Re: How to highlight all the Text for a Text field when getting focu

Jim,

Thank, but I've tried your solution.  It work from a SingleThreaded
Menu.  But fails from a Frame.
I went back and tested it again just in case.  I've got a simple App
with 2 menus (SingleThreaded and Frame) and one window procedure.  I
switch from Single to Threaded Frame to verify.  When testing I'm
putting the code in ThisWindow.TakeSelected for the Selected Field.
Currently I'm only testing with ABC.

>From a Frame with your method the highlighting always stops at the
location of the cursor when the mouse is used.

My API method above works, but it moves the cursor.
Which I don't like.  Other than that it seems to work fine.

If you have another idea let me know and I will give it a try.  I would
prefer your solution because then I would not need to move the cursor.

Do you know how to calculate the actual length of the text.  That would
improve what I'm doing.

Thanks,

Jim Mumford
