[Gambas-user] SelectAll feature

[Matti]

If you want to do it via CTRL+A, you have to write a keypress event for the form:

Public Sub Form_KeyPress()
  If Key.Code = Key["A"] And If Key.Control Then
    TextBox1.SelectAll
  Endif
End

And if you want to have the text selected automatically when the text box gets
the focus, do:

Public Sub TextBox1_GotFocus()
  TextBox1.SelectAll
End
