I don't think you can as it's a gridview cell not a textarea that has selection methods.
A TableView may possibly work as it has edit methods.

Do you just want to select part of the text or the whole cell?

Gridview does support RichText though so you could use html tags to change the text appearance to make it look selected or just highlight it.

Code (gambas)

  1. GridView1[0, 0].Text = ""  ' you have to clear .Text to use .RichText
  2. GridView1[0, 0].RichText = "Here is <font color=green>green text</font> in the field"
  3.  
Could be another of those fancy methods that needs you to make a ScrollView and use panels rather than expecting too much from a GridView.

 Thank you for your nice help.

I have solved it with a Textbox and in its Keyrelease() event, when I write, I go through the entire gridview and change the color of the text and the one that should not be changed I leave it as default.

Thanks you are the best.
