Select all text inside InputBox textbox

How do I programmatically select all in vb.net InputBox?
Dim ans As String
Dim iznos As String = gridRacun.SelectedItem("kol")
ans = InputBox("Enter value:", "Amount", 1111)
If ans = "" Then
ans = iznos
ElseIf System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(ans, "[^0-9,-]+") Then
ans = iznos
ElseIf Convert.ToDouble(ans) <= 0 Then
ans = iznos
Else
ans = ans
End If
I want InputBox.textbox.selectall() so the user does not need to select all or delete all if he wants a value that is not already input.

You don't.InputBoxis a function, not an object, so trying to access amember of it is nonsensical. Don't useInputBoxat all, ever. Create your own form and put aTextBoxcontrol on it and then you can treat that like aTextBox... because it is aTextBox.

So, why does InputBox selects everything if i call inputbox like this:a = InputBox("Input value", "Delete number", 30)

@stacks I guess who ever coded the implementation of Inputbox thought that if you have default value set (ie. 30) it would be easier for the user to change that if the text is already selected, hence you can just start typing the new value. But as for the question, do what jmcilhinney said.

If I run the codeInputBox("Enter value:", "Amount", 1111)in a newly created form, the default text "1111" is selected. Doesn't that work for you? But honestly,InputBoxis crap, better create your own form - the extra effort is minimal, and you have much better control over it.

InputBox is a function, not a type. When you call InputBox, the code that the function contains will create a form and add the appropriate controls and other functionality to it. That includes a TextBox control. If you create your own form with a TextBox on it and set the Text in the designer, when you display that form you will find that the text in the TextBox is selected by default. That's exactly what happens with the form created by the InputBox method.
In your own form, you have access to the form itself and all the controls on it, so you can call SelectAll on the TextBox whenever you want. When you call InputBox, you have no access to the form or its controls so you can't make it behave any way other than the author of that method intended. Create your own form and you have full control over how it behaves and also how it looks. It's rare that the InputBox function actually creates a UI that fits aesthetically with the rest of an application.
