EnterFieldBehavior property

Specifies the selection behavior when entering a TextBox or ComboBox.

Syntax

object.EnterFieldBehavior [= fmEnterFieldBehavior ]

The EnterFieldBehavior property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. A valid object.
fmEnterFieldBehavior	Optional. The desired selection behavior.

Settings

The settings for fmEnterFieldBehavior are:

Constant	Value	Description
fmEnterFieldBehaviorSelectAll	0	Selects the entire contents of the edit region when entering the control (default).
fmEnterFieldBehaviorRecallSelection	1	Leaves the selection unchanged. Visually, this uses the selection that was in effect the last time the control was active.

Remarks

The EnterFieldBehavior property controls the way text is selected when the user tabs to the control, not when the control receives focus as a result of the SetFocus method.

Following SetFocus, the contents of the control are not selected, and the insertion point appears after the last character in the control's edit region.
