I’d think not; it’s just a matter of using the TextBox selection APIs correctly. This sounds like a similar issue: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/81b43024-6164-43c7-a6b6-e2f55c9412c8">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/81b43024-6164-43c7-a6b6-e2f55c9412c8</a>. Basically, I think you need to call Focus() again after selecting the text programmatically; I ran into the same issue while building my RubyConf demo: <a href="http://github.com/jschementi/rubyconf2009/blob/master/sketchscript/features/start.rb#L204">http://github.com/jschementi/rubyconf2009/blob/master/sketchscript/features/start.rb#L204</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>~js<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> users-bounces@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-bounces@lists.ironpython.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ken MacDonald<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, March 24, 2010 1:54 PM<br><b>To:</b> Discussion of IronPython<br><b>Subject:</b> [IronPython] focus and selecting text in a TextBox with IronPython<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I'm trying to capture the event of focus being shifted into a text box via mouse click, and would like to highlight the existing text, so that if I start typing the selected text will disappear. i.e. the the box initially contains "<Enter Name>", I click into the box, "<Enter Name>" is highlighted, and if I type "fred" the initial text will disappear, leaving only "fred".
