SelStart & SelLength: Cursor & Selection in Access VBA


 S  M  L  XL  FS  |  Slo  Reg  Fast  2x  |  Bookmark Join Now

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, we will learn how to use SelStart and SelLength properties in VBA to manipulate the cursor and text selection within a field. Discover how to programmatically set the cursor position or select specific text ranges, perfect for managing long text entries efficiently.

Members

In the extended cut, we will explore a technique for reading the selected text in a Microsoft Access field after it loses focus. I will show you how to maintain and retrieve the text selection information even when you toggle focus away from the control.

Silver Members and up get access to view Extended Cut videos, when available. Gold Members can download the files from class plus get access to the Code Vault. If you're not a member, Join Today!
