  BOOL SetEditSel( int nStartChar, int nEndChar );
 
  Parameter    Description
 
  <nStartChar> Specifies the starting position. If the starting position
               is set to -1, then any existing selection is removed.
 
  <nEndChar>   Specifies the ending position. If the ending position is
               set to -1, then all text from the starting position to the
               last character in the edit control is selected.
 
  Remarks
 
  Selects characters in the edit control of a combo box.
 
  The positions are zero-based. To select the first character of the edit
  control, you specify a starting position of 0. The ending position is
  for the character just after the last character to select. For example,
  to select the first four characters of the edit control, you would use a
  starting position of 0 and an ending position of 4.
 
  Return Value
 
  TRUE if the member function is successful; otherwise FALSE. It is CB_ERR
  if CComboBox has the ◄CBS_DROPDOWNLIST► style or doesn't have a list
  box.
