asked on VB.net selecting text inside textbox through code
In Visual Studio 2019 I am trying to select the text in a textbox programmatically. But neither intellisense gives the option of selectionstart or selectionlength nor can I see it in the properties pane. Even if I type it out manually it gives an error.
In the object browser the only items show for selectionstart are shown. Textbox is not part of it.

How can I select the text inside the textbox programatically?

That is not working. The intellisense for txName does not give the option for selectionstart or selectionlength.

Oops. I was working on the wrong variable. That was not a textbox. It was a label.
Sorry for the confusion.

Right - labels don't have those properties.
