Then when I type the next character it overwrites the selected text. WHY is this happening? Is there selected text property that I am overlooking from somewhere??
I am about to start setting the text ever key press out of desperation. This is driving me nuts.
Are you doing anything inside the keypress event?
When you select text with your mouse, a shading usually appears over the text to let you know that it's selected. This is happening to me on the first character that I type into the box.... then when I type the second character it overwrites the first.
This only happens on the first character -- not sure why.
I do not understand what you are describing.
