hmm ok. I guess I have to seek a different route. I've now implemented
a kind of a filter. so displays only the ones that match the keyword.
It would have been a lot easier if the selection worked as my text
widget is also editable.
Thanks for the help,

The only option I know of is the SET_TEXT_SELECT keyword to
WIDGET_CONTROL. But this only allows a single selection. (Further calls
always clear the selection first.)

Ah thats sad. What about this? I understand widget_text takes a list
of strings as input and displays 1 item per line. Can it be done so
that only certain lines of the widget are highlighted?
Thanks for replying so fast:)

I'm not sure "help" is the right word, but no, this
can't be done. :-)
