Nirav,

VFP does not select a textbox when it is clicked. There is probably code in the GotFocus() of the parent class that causes this to happen. You'll see either This.SetFocus() or manipulation of This.SelLength in the method. See the KiloFox book for more info on this (this is the first tip I've used since buying the book recently). Still, it seems like this code is in the wrong place. The check for This.SelOnEntry should be in the class, not the textbox on the form.
