Thank you for making me aware of that. This will occur if you changed
the text of the textbox.

Solution: Add a handler to the textbox's 'GocFocus' event (you will
have to create this handler yourself because it's not listed in the
list of available events) and enter this code:

\\\
DirectCast(sender, TextBox).SelectAll()
///
