>>>>>>If you have a textbox set up to select upon entry, and then click into that textbox with your mouse, the textbox loses its highlight and the cursor positions to the column in the textbox where you clicked. Is there any way to have the textbox work the same way with a mouse click in it as it does if you tabbed into it? I want it to select the entire length of the textbox and be ready for input from the left side, replacing any data in it with what I type in.
