When you hand control back to a textbox in Visual Basic it’s useful if you also select the textbox contents so a user can just start typing over the current contents. Here’s how to do this – place the code in the Textbox_gotfocus event handler:

TextBox.SelectionStart = 0
TextBox.SelectionLength = Len(TextBox.Text)

How easy is that?
