How do I get my text boxes to automatically highlight the default text so users can start typing without having to delete or highlight it themselves?
Hi
To select text in a textbox control, you just need to specify the start and length of the selection, in characters. Paste this code into the form.load event handler, or wherever you want it..
Hope this helps
