SetSelectArea Function

Overview

The SetSelectArea function sets the selected area for an edit object or view.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = SetSelectArea ( handle hObject );

int = SetSelectArea ( handle hObject, int s_x, int s_y, int e_x, int e_y );

Parameters

hObject

A handle to an Edit Object or an Edit View.

s_x   s_y   e_x   e_x

A series of four int values specifying the native starting and ending positions. When supplied the default select mode will be set to linear. The mode can be overridden as block mode in certain views. If omitted, the select area is reset.

Return Value

An int as ERROR_NONE (0) on success or a formatted error code.

Remarks

Each accepts certain types of selections. Text based windows expect the select area to be presented as a realized position. If tabs are enabled, this will result in select issues if this is not taken into account.

The selection on the window is not updated until the Edit Object is closed or forced to update with the UpdateEditWindow function.
