Then when I type the next character it overwrites the selected text. WHY is this happening? Is there selected text property that I am overlooking from somewhere??
I am about to start setting the text ever key press out of desperation. This is driving me nuts.
I do not understand what you are describing.
When you select text with your mouse, a shading usually appears over the text to let you know that it's selected. This is happening to me on the first character that I type into the box.... then when I type the second character it overwrites the first.
This only happens on the first character -- not sure why.
