    Problem with ToolStripTextBox

    I just want to select the complete text when someone enters the textbox
    (mouse click etc.). When I am executing within the IDE (VS 2005 Pro) no
    problem.

    Execute outside the IDE and no select takes place.


    Code:

    Private Sub tbSearchTxt_Ent er(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
    System.EventArg s) Handles tbSearchTxt.Ent er
    ' select all text to make paste of new info easier
    tbSearchTxt.Sel ectAll()
    End Sub

    Any ideas or is that control broken?

      More info. It seems the only reason it worked in IDE is the breakpoint. No
      breakpoint no code execution it seems. Now I put a msgbox in the handler
      code and it works both in IDE and as executable outside the IDE. Some
      pretty weird stuff going on here.

          It is not just the ToolStripTextBo x, all text boxes work this way. Why not
          just put your selectall in the click event?

              Thanks, did that and works like a charm. Wonder why clicking is not seen as
              entering..

              Oh well

                  Re: Problem with ToolStripTextBo x

                  Here is my guess... clicking does the enter but then starts a new 'select'
                  ending with the mouse up event. If you do other things like change the
                  background and font colors in the 'enter' event, it works fine. So my guess
                  is that the the text is getting selected in the enter and then deselected by
                  the mouse events.
