Highlighting text in an Editbox

[Paul_Boland]

Hi Folks.

Just wondering, is there a way to have the text in an Editbox highlighted automatically? I have a Name Editbox for taking in a name from the user but if a name already exists, it automatically appears in the Editbox. I would like this highlighted so if the user wants to change it, they don't have to manually highlight and/or delete the name to enter a new one.

Not that I'm aware of, but an alternative to this would be this: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=173101#Post1731 01

Yes, I just tried it. Use the Edit Box: Selection object and set the expressions to 0,-1

Thanks for the link to the example but I'm not sure it's what I'm after and could potentially cause confusion in the program I'm writing. No worries, it's just a minor issue really, would be nice to have the text highlighted but it's not crucial to the programs operation. Thanks.

What I posted works and can do it with one action.
