How to select the contents of a textbox once it is activated?

Question

I have this simple Userform, where I only have TextBox1 and TextBox2. I enter some text in both of them. Assume the focus is on (the cursor is in)

Answer 1

Try the same code with TextBox1_MouseDown. It should work.

Private Sub TextBox1_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
    With TextBox1
        .SetFocus
        .SelStart = 0
        .SelLength = Len(.Text)
    End With
    MsgBox "Text in TextBox1 is selected"
End Sub
