Good grief. Have some patience. Do you realize that half the world is asleep? Volunteers at this site are not at your beck and call.
But since I am here... "but no help" is not an acceptable description of any sort of a problem. No such word as "plz". Try GotFocus or OnFocus I forget which.

if there is no acceptable solution then what is point in saying no help :( There is no onfocus or gotfocus event in winforms C#.

The event is called GotFocus in winforms. I know this because at 630am I ran Visual Studio and created a brand new Winforms project, added a textbox and then went through the list of events that the textbox has. Kind of new at this research thing aren't you?

gotFocus and Lost Focus are not available in the property window ... just add the handler then it will work for you... I have added a solution for you...please check

Hey angry young man...

sorry for late reply..

C#

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    textBox1.Text = "shemeer"; // setting a default value
    textBox1.GotFocus += new EventHandler(textBox1_GotFocus); // add the eventhandler for GotFocus..this is not available in the property/event window
}

private void textBox1_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Select(0, 0); //setting cursor to the begining just after getting focus
}

private void textBox1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Select(0, 0);//setting cursor to the begining  on a mouse click

}

I hope this will resolve your problem.... thanks

Solution 3

The event is called "Enter".
Somewhere early in your code, subscribe for the event:

C#

myTextBox.Enter+=new EventHandler(myTextBox_Enter);

In the event handler, do e.g:

C#

TextBox aTextBox = sender as TextBox;
aTextBox.SelectionStart=0;
aTextBox.SelectionLength=0;
