how to make it apparent that a TextMorph's text (or substring thereof) has been selected?

I am working with a descendant of TextMorph.

The following code does what I want except for one thing: make it apparent that there is a selection, i.e., no selection highlight is visible.

mouseEnter: evt

self takeKeyboardFocus.

self editor selectAll.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Alex

You'll need to implement

handlesMouseOver: anEvent
"Answer true if we want to receive mouseEnter and mouse Leave events."

^true

and update your mouse enter code with

mouseEnter: evt
self takeKeyboardFocus.
self editor selectAll.
self changed
