I have a class made from a control containing a textbox and a command button. The class is set up so that the first two characters are highlighted in the GotFocus event of the textbox using SelStart and SelLength. This all works properly when the control is placed on a form, the characters properly highlight. However, when I place the control in the column of a grid, the two leading characters are not highlighted when tabbing into the cell containing the control. I have verified that the GotFocus of the textbox in the control fires using the debugger and wait window but the characters are not highlighted and the cursor is placed at the beginning of the text.

I have noted this tyoe problem in grids before and in a standard textbox in the column I have found that placing

NODEFAULT
TextBox::GotFocus()
THIS.SelStart = X
THIS.SelLength = Y

in the GotFocus() usually takes care of it. I tried this type code in the class textbox but it still does not highlight. Is this expected behavior or a bug and regardless of which, is there a sure fire way to get my highlighting to occur in my class textbox when it is instantiated in a grid column?

Thanks,
Bill
