If numeric expression is set to 0, the cursor is placed at the location specified by SelStart (or character 0 if SelStart is not called first) and no text is selected. |
Sub Click() ... StringField1002.SelLength(25) 'select the 1st 25 chars in StringField 1002 StringField1002.SelLength(0) '0 = no selection; place cursor at SelStart StringField1002.SelLength(5) 'select characters 7 - 12 ... End Sub |
SelStart |
