If you have the handle to the edit control box, then you can send a message to that to highlight everything:
SendMessage(hwnd, EM_SETSEL, 0, -1);
Where "hwnd" is the handle to your edit control box, usually a handle for an edit control box will be returned from a CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx function:
HWND hwnd=CreateWindow("EDIT", ...);

Hope this helps.
