Feature Request: Select All in Edit Box Action

[aidmm]

This is what I'm trying to do: When I tab to an Edit Box that already has text in it, I'd like it to automatically select all the text currently in the Edit Box (identical to what happens when you bring up the expression editor). Am I making sense?

thanks!

This can be easily done with the Rich Edit object instead.

Ill send you an example if you like.

I just tried using the Rich Edit object.. but I couldn't use Tab to jump to the next text field... maybe I'm missing something. when I do this:

If RichEditObject has focus
+ TAB is hit

it still enters a TAB space in the Rich Edit field.

Are you using MMF2? - If so I have found that this works:

On Focus..........................>
. ............................................}..... ......Block > Select All
Only one event when... ...>

It definitely does the Select All thing I want it to do... but then I'm missing out on the "Tab to the next object" ability. Also, I'm using the Edit Box's "convert to uppercase" ability.

I'm using MMF2 with the latest 242 build.

Yes I found the same problem with some of the interface controls. Some will allow you tab and other will not. In my case it was the combo boxes. I could tab using the edit box but hit a combo box and no go. You have to use the mouse to click on the next box.
