Method Details
- setSelection
  
  void setSelection(int start, int end)
  
  Sets the selection to the range specified by the given start and end indices.
  Indexing is zero based. The range of a selection is from 0..N where N is the number of characters in the widget.
  Text selections are specified in terms of caret positions. In a text widget that contains N characters, there are N+1 caret positions, ranging from 0..N. This differs from other functions that address character position such as getText () that use the usual array indexing rules.
  Parameters:
  
  start - the start of the range
  
  end - the end of the range
  
  Throws:
  
  org.eclipse.swt.SWTException -
  
  ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  
  ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
