>>Do you mean Editbox? What is probably biting you on your attempts is the automatic call to the Editbox BaseClass behavior at the end of your overridden code. VFP is undoing your setting of the Sel* properties. Do this instead:
>>
>>*GotFocus method
>>EditBox::GotFocus() && do the baseclass behavior now
>>nodefault && prevent automatic call
>>this.SelStart = 1
>>this.SelLength = len( this.Value )
