Highlight Text

How can I highlight whatever is in a TextGadget or a StringGadget when it gains focus.
I did it before using the Visual Basic functions SelStart and SelLength. But I didn't find such commands in PB !!
Some help would be nice.

Thanks

Code: Select all

; this is in you event loop
  ...
  case #YourStringGadget
    if EventType() = #PB_EventType_Focus
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(#YourStringGadget), #EM_SETSEL, 0, -1)
    endif
  ...
