CComboBox::GetEditSel

Gets the starting and ending character positions of the current selection in the edit control of a combo box.

DWORD GetEditSel( ) const;

Return Value

Example

DWORD dwSel;

// Set the selection to be all characters after the current selection. 
if ((dwSel = m_MyComboBox.GetEditSel()) != CB_ERR)
{
   m_MyComboBox.SetEditSel(HIWORD(dwSel), -1);
}
