If you use the mouse to click a text box or a Masked Edit control moving
the focus off a control that executes a MsgBox statement in its LostFocus
or ValidateError event, the insertion point goes into select mode once the
message box is closed. After closing the message box, if you move the mouse
cursor from side to side of the Text Box or Masked Edit control, text in
the control is selected based on the point where the mouse was clicked to
move focus to the Text Box or Masked Edit control. Clicking the mouse
anywhere within the Text Box or Masked Edit control turns off select mode.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Standard and
Professional Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 for Windows and
in Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. This
problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 for Windows.
Steps to Reproduce Problem- Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N)
if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by default.
- Add a text box (Text1) to Form1.
- Add a command button (Command1) to Form1.
- Add the following code to Command1_LostFocus.
Sub Command1_LostFocus
MsgBox "Command1 LostFocus Event"
End Sub
- From the Run menu, choose Start (ALT, R, S) to run the program.
- Click the Command1 button to bring the focus to it.
- Click the x in Text1 in the text box. The message box appears. Click the
OK button to Close the message box.
- Move the mouse cursor over the word Text1 in the text box and then move
it left or right.
When you move the mouse cursor from side to side of the Text Box, you
select the text on either side of the x in Text1. The insertion point
should not select text; it should only represent the entry point for any
text entered.
