Hi Chris - sorry to take so long to get back to you. I was up in Brisbane during the Footy Double Debarcle! When I left it was a city full of smug poms and even smugger banana-benders - ughh <g>.

Anyway,

Are the textboxes/editboxes in the grid based on anything other than the fox base class?

Cheers,

Andrew

>>Chris, it looks like something is setting the selstart property back to 0 - look back through the class heirarchy for the text box. You'll notice that when sellength > 0 in the last example, the B came out at the front.
