Hmm - perhaps I meant a different function? I have implemented this,
and it works, but it doesn't do the same as I was thinking. I would
like the text to be selected just the same as if I had pressed
Control-A. When I press control-A the text turns blue (according to
the theme on my GTK-based desktop). However, when I select the text
using SetSelection(-1,-1) the text is highlighted in a gray and then
if I type the text isn't replaced, and if I press Control-C, the text
isn't copied. In Windows, the SetSelection function doesn't seem to
have any effect at all.
Basically, I just want the functionality to do the same as pressing control-A.
TIA.

SetSelection(-1,-1) will do it.

I'm guessing here, but I think that SetSelection worked, but the control
does not have focus.
Try calling SetFocus() on the control, and see if that makes a difference.
