Where is this field property? When I click in designer on a field I canM-4t find it in the properties window. All other properties are there.  
Win2000, Servoy R2 1.2rc2 build 257.

selectOnEnter: If the checkbox is checked the contents of the field are  
automatically selected when clicking or tabbing into the field.

onFocusGained has no checkbox. You have to create a method now. But whatM-4s the function to select the contents of a field?

sorry

That property is hidden for the moment, because it didn’t work quite right, it will be back when that is fixed.
