I'm asking the question already asked (and even answered) here: Why are some textboxes not accepting Control + A shortcut to select all by default
But that answer doesn't work for me. I have this code:
public class LoginForm : Form
{
private TextBox tbUsername;
public LoginForm()
{
tbUsername = new TextBox();
tbUsername.ShortcutsEnabled = true;
tbUsername.Multiline = false;
Controls.Add(tbUsername);
}
}
The textbox shows up, I can write on it, I can cut, copy and paste text on it without any problems. But when I try to press Ctrl+A I only hear a "bling" similar to the bling that you hear if you try to erase text from an empty textbox (try it with your browser's address bar).
Like other answers indicate, Application.EnableVisualStyles()
should be called. Also the TextBox.ShortcutsEnabled
should be set to true
. But if your TextBox.Multiline
is enabled then Ctrl+A will not work (see MSDN documentation). Using RichTextBox
instead will get around the problem.
