When you want to select text by mouse click, put code to setup SelStart and SelLength in MouseUp event, not in click.

Use Coverage profiler, or run program in trace mode and setup breakpoint to stop programe each time when SelStart and SelLength of the textbox changed. It may cause a lot of weird stops, if you will not use name like _application.Activeform.MyForm.MyGrid... ;)

>> 3. How you want to get textbox selected? When you tab to it by 'Tab' key, should work ok just using SelectOnEntry property of textbox. When you want to select it just when mouse clicked, this requires some tricks because VFP events.

I also have weird idea, but I'm not sure it might help, just try it. In the GotFocus event of container try to use setfocus method of textbox inside and setup its SelStart/SelLenth.
