>hmmmm.... how do u do that?

With properties .SelStart and .SelLength.

I don't remember exactly, but I think it would be something like:

* TextBox.GotFocus()
This.SelStart = 0 && or was it 1?
This.SelLength = len(This.Text)

Of course, if you manage to make it work, you should put it somewhere in your base classes - perhaps dependent on property .SelectOnEntry, or a user-defined property. Assuming the above works correctly:

* TextBox.GotFocus()
DoDefault()
if This.SelectOnEntry
  This.SelStart = 0 && or was it 1?
  This.SelLength = len(This.Text)
endif
