I found this same behaviour and eventually had to go into the gotfocus if my classed textbox control and put THIS.SelectOnEntry = .T. and they all work the same now. I don't know why I had to do this but this is the only way I could get it to work consistently.

>My client complained that some textboxes show a highlight and others do not. So immediately I thought SELECTONENTRY. So I set one textbox .T. and the other .F. and ran the program. I can find no difference between the two textboxes. If nothing is in either textbox all you get is the bar type cursor. If there is something in the textboxes they both highlight the text. What is SELECTONENTRY suppose to do?
