Send it a EM_SETSEL message, with the wParam set to the starting character and the lParam set to the ending character position.

You'll see this behavior if you send it 0 and -1 for wParam and lParam. Check your variable datatypes and values.

If you have CEdit control (MFC), directly use SetSel() member (see MSDN/compiler help on SetSel)...
