The simplest way I know is to put the following into the GotFocus() event:

This.SetFocus()

Along with setting the SelectOnEntry property to .T.

>>>Was hoping to select the entire field value of the textbox in a grid column when i click into the textbox. Users can enter a value of 99.9 into the text box. Want to avoid having the user click into the text box at the position to the right of the decimal. Was expecting SelectOnEntry to select the entire value. Instead, the cursor is placed wherever the user clicked.

>>>I have Format = K and SelectOnEntry = .T. for both the COLUMN properties and for the textbox in the column.

>>>Am using Nick's GridHighlighter. There is a "lSelectOnEntry" property on his class and i have set this to TRUE. Doesnt help. And tabbing from one column into this 99.9 column also does not select the entire field value.
