Our application has a fairly large number of dialog boxes, bot modal and modeless. Recently, it was brought to my attention that some of them were behaving strangely. I have narrowed this behaviour down to the following description. In a modeless dialog box, tabbing (or backtabbing) from a listbox to an edit control causes the edit control to become active, as it should. In this case, however, it doesn't select the entire contents of the control as current, but simply puts the insertion point at the beginning of the field. The problem only occurs in modeless dialogs, and only next to listboxes (haven't tried next to a combobox, actually); otherwise the entire contents of the edit control are always initially selected. Is there some style that I can specify? Or something else I can do? Or is this a bug in Windows 3.0 (the Windows 2 version worked fine)?
