Another quick-snip here. Add select all (ctrl+a) to a regular textbox in less than 7 seconds, and here's how. Using the KeyDown event, look for control and A, and then select all, suppressing the keypress to stop the pingggggg noise:
private void txtInput_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.A)
{
txtInput.SelectAll();
e.Handled = true;
e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
}
}
And there you have it. Enjoy
