Hello Ken,
You don't say whether you are using WPF, Windows Forms or Silverlight.
When I've written code similar to your with windows forms and always
used SelectionStart and SelectionLength.
All the best,
Michael

I'm trying to capture the event of focus being shifted into a text box
via mouse click, and would like to highlight the existing text, so
that if I start typing the selected text will disappear. i.e. the the
box initially contains "<Enter Name>", I click into the box, "<Enter
Name>" is highlighted, and if I type "fred" the initial text will
disappear, leaving only "fred". I can capture the focus with:
textbox.GotKeyboardFocus += name_keyboard_focus
but this handler is doing something wrong:
def name_keyboard_focus(self, sender, args):
#alert("got focus!")
textbox = self.control("NewName")
textbox.Focus()
textbox.SelectAll()
If I add:
textbox.Cut()
or:
alert(textbox.SelectedText)
at the end, it's obvious that the SelectAll() has worked, but the text
is NOT highlighted, and if I type "fred" I get "fred" appended to the
original text, "<Enter Name>fred".
Any clues appreciated.
Ken
