Well, pretty simply actually.
When the control gets focus, get the text and try to match '.' then =
highlight it.

atom junk
junk =3D sendMessage( <control>,EM_SETSEL, <start highlight at this =
point>, -1)

numeric values
-1 hilights up to the end of text

  Subject: Auto Highlight in Text Box



  Hi All,
  Using Win32lib I have a form allowing the user to enter data. What I =
am trying to achieve is that when a user saves the record and then tabs =
to a text box to enter data for the next record, I want my program to =
search the test currently in the box and is it finds a "." period it =
should highlight any text from thispoint onwards.

  This way if a user is entering a list of doors as follows entry should =
be much faster and easier as they only need to type whatever preceeds =
the period once.

  D1         Gosford Hospital. Maternity
  D2         Gosford Hospital. A & E
  D3         Gosford Hospital. Security
  D4         Gosford Hospital. Surgery

  Thanks
  Tony Steward=20
