Somewhere else in code you call Edit1.SelectAll, but because Edit1 doesn't have focus, nothing (visual) changes in Edit1 - it still only shows a edit box with text (no selection rectangle). Then when the user tabs to Edit1, everything is selected. What if programatically on partial text was selected. As soon as Edit1 receives focus the previous selection is ignore and everything gets selected (normal default behaviour). So why is the point of being able to programatically do a selection it it's never seen (visually)? > > > 5) Does TMemo act the same as TEdit? > > no All hell! :-) Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
