One line of code in the got focus event is all it takes.
Xojo.Core.Timer.CallLater(1,AddressOf Me.SelectAll)
Thanks Markus. I lost the point of this thread. So, yeah, Timer.CallLater seems like a good solution.

It doesn’t matter how you get to the field - mouse click, tab, etc.[/quote]
Tim, I tried that a few months back but it does NOT work with 2016R3 WIN7 - It ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!, but unfortunately it doesn’t. I decided to forget about it and move on. Now I’ve come back to it. It’s like a small splinter in the back of my mind, I can live with it, but annoying nonetheless.

Neil, that is even simpler and it works perfectly. No need for the MouseUp event.
My guess is that the 1 millisecond delay somehow forces another run through the loop where now the events align as they should?
