I thought this would select the existing text in the string gadget, so I could if I wanted, simply delete it or paste over it:

           SetGadgetText(#StrGdtInput,"Some Text")
            SendMessage_(GadgetID(#StrGdtInput),#EM_SETSEL,0,-1)

....however, none of the text is selected - at least, not shown (not highlighted) as selected?

Hi Rashad

Rashad to the rescue again! Thank you.

Confession: I think you already told me how to do this once before

Programatically pre-select text in StringGadget
