Question

How could I select the content of CEdit control just when I click the text of the CEdit.
I could select the content with this code:

m_ctrlEdit.SetFocus();
m_ctrlEdit.SetSel(0, -1, FALSE);

and i put the code in ON_EN_SETFOCUS message handler, but the code doesn’t work there.

Answer 1

Create a custom CEdit control and in the custom class add the handler OnLButtonDown in that put the following code

void CMyEdit::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)

    {
        // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
        CEdit::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
        SetSel(0, -1, FALSE);
    }
