Select-box

Hello,

in some windows you can press the left button, hold it down and move the
cursor and then let go. While moving the cursor a box will appear between
the point you pressed the left mouse button and the current position of the
cursor. After you let go, all files inside the box will be selected.

I don't know the name of the 'feature' so it's hard to find info on it in
the help files.

I would like to know how to be able to use it in a control. I assume there
is a way, without having to draw the select-box yourself?
All I need is to display the select-box, and have it's position and size.

Thank you for any info.

Qwert,

This is build in in most controls where it is needed by instance in a
textbox. (The controls are basicly Windows controls).
