When the user starts to edit a value in ReportControl, I want to automatically select all the text because the user will typically be replacing the entire value. Currently, it places the cursor at the first offset and has no selection. This means the user has to then delete all the text before entering the new value.

Is there any way to specify that all text should be selected when beginning an edit operation?

Thanks in advance.

The answer would be to set .SelectTextOnEdit of the corresponding item edit options to True (whether on populating the control, or just before starting editing). Example below:


With wndReportControl
    .FocusedRow.Record(COLUMN_SUBJECT).CreateEditOptions
    .FocusedRow.Record(COLUMN_SUBJECT).EditOptions.SelectTextOnEdit = True
    .EditItem .FocusedRow, .Columns.Find(COLUMN_SUBJECT)
End With
