How Can I Click the Mouse?

[Blake]

I have a situation in which I want my application to click the left mouse button, once. The purpose is to clear the black highlighting in a control which has the focus, due to a FindRecord action. I'm aware of the SendKeys action, which lets one send various keycode combinations, and I'm aware of the various events that let me tell if the user has clicked the mouse, but I don't see how to click the mouse (perhaps because that's not recommended?)

One way to unhighlight text inside a control is to set the SelLength to Zero.

txtBox1.SetFocus
txtBox1.SelLength = 0

If you don't know which control you're going to be in then you can use:

Screen.ActiveControl.SelLength = 0

Peace

Thanks hugely Drevlin. That did the trick nicely.
