   when I do

for textboxes

txtName.SelStart = 0

txtName.SelLength = Len(txtName.Text)

txtName.SetFocus

I get no focus, also no visible selection even when I focus the control with mouse/keyboard.

But... the seltext property has the right selected text.

for combos

cmbOption.SelStart = 0

cmbOption.SelLength = Len(cmbOption.Text)

cmbOption.SetFocus

the same as above but here I get visible selection when I customly focus the control.

	Yup, just encountered this myself and it means I have to go back to the good old vb textbox. To reproduce Add a flat edit control, say approx 3 lines high and 40 chars wide. Set multiline to TRUE. Add a keyPress event that says if the text length is greater than 200 to then truncate it. If len(FlatEdit.Text) > 200 then Beep FlatEdit.Text = left(FlatEdit.Text, 200) FlatEdit.Text.SelStart = len(FlatEdit.Text)+1 endif Run the program and start entering text. Make sure you enter enough to fill up more that the number of visible lines in the control, so that it has to scroll the text up in order to display what you are typing. When you get to the 201 char, you will hear a beep but the caret will not be visible.
