I have a Text Widget and I wanna select text, but setSelection() didnŽt
select nothing, I used showSelection() too.
How can I do that?

Thank you

The widget needs to have focus for it to draw.

After you set the selection, call "textControl.setFocus()" to see what I am
talking about. On some platforms, the selection only draws when the control
has focus.
