How to Auto Select the content of a Text box
Hi all,
I am working on Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 using MFC. I have created a text box (ie used Edit Box.). My problem is auto selecting the content of the text box so the user can overwrite the content of the text box. Right now the user has to highlight the entire content using the mouse or stylus and then overwrite the content.
Can someone please suggest how I could do it.
Thanks
Raghuraman

Use the CEdit method SetSel. You can specify the starting and ending character positions. If those are 0 and -1, respectively, it selects the whole shebang.
