Does anybody know how do I select all text in simple singleline edit =
window within my program? I tried with EM_SETSEL messsage but it doesn't =
work. I want all text to be selected when edit window gets WM_SETFOCUS =
message (when you first click with mouse in it).=20
I have this code in my EditWndProcedure:
---------start code
if msg=3DWM_SETFOCUS then
--this should work but it doesn't
ok=3DSendMessage(hwnd,EM_SETSEL,0,
SendMessage(hwnd,WM_GETTEXTLENGTH,0,0))
--this should also work but it doesn't =20
ok=3DSendMessage(hwnd,WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK,0,
0)
-- ok=3DSetFocus(hwnd)
-- return 1
=20
end if
---------end code
I need it becuase I am making my own ComboBox and other controls because =
those of Windows are so damn complicated to use and so slow! In two days =
I have ComBobox (with images) almost complete and Scroll more than half =
finished, it's easy!

According to the Win32 help file:
"If the nStart parameter is 0 and the nEnd parameter is -1,
all the text in the edit control is selected."
My guess is that:
ok =3D SendMessage(hwnd,EM_SETSEL,0,-1)
should work.
