Hi Paolo,
I played a bit around with your code and found following:
You can hand an array of TextRanges to .select()
So the code
oCurrCon = ThisComponent.CurrentController
oSelect() = ThisComponent.getCurrentController().getSelection()
oSelect().getByIndex(1).setString("ciao")
oCurrCon.select(oSelect())
Does nearly what you want, but has still some problems.
The changed TextRange will not be "visibly" selected in this multiple
selection but will do so in a single selection
oCurrCon.select(oSelect().getByIndex(1))
All other - unchanged - elements of the array will.
Somehow the TextRanges in the array seem to be not updated properly.
Also, if you let the Controller visibly select a single TextRange first,
you can change visible selection to another TextRange but also can't
create a visible multiple selection afterwards through
CurrentController.select(...).
If this is no bug, I find it not very reasonable at least.
Maybe I'll find a workaround later.
Hope that helps a little bit,
Christoph
