>>>>I have a grid with txtboxes in most columns, but an editbox in one certain column. Sometimes when I try to use Ctrl-A to select the contents of the editbox control, it gets ignored. The work around it to press Home to get to the beginning, then press Shift-End to select to the then end. But, why does Ctrl-A work sometimes, but then not others. There are no controls with .keypress() functions anywhere, so I know it's not that. Isn't Ctrl-A a Windows or VFP standard action?

>>>CTRL-A is a menu short cut to the Select All bar on the Edit popup of the VFP system menu. If the VFP Edit menu is there you can use CTRL-A if the Editmenu is not there you cannot use the CTRL-A.

>>Well. You are the second one to say that, and I wish you were right. However, my testing reveals otherwise. In .Column1, which has a textbox, Ctrl-A works find, owever, tab over to .Column2 which has an editbox, and Ctrl-A will just laugh in your face. The VFP system and the Edit popup are alive and well in all but this one control. What do you think?

Matt,

I have got a clue because I don't do anything with gird other than display adata. I find grids are to weird to bother trying to get to work right for editing data. Other disagree with me, mayber they have some idea why Ctrl-A doesn;t work in your editbox in a grid.
