Fields

Active 8

The selection is active; that is, the text control has the input focus.
AtEndOfLine 2

For a degenerate selection (insertion point), the character position at the beginning of a line is the same as the character position at the end of the preceding line. As such, the character position is ambiguous. If this flag is 1, display the caret at the end of the preceding line; otherwise, display it at the beginning of the line.
Overtype 4

Insert/overtype mode is set to overtype.
Replace 16

Typing and pasting replaces the selection.
StartActive 1

The start position of the selection is the active end; that is, the end that is changed by pressing Shift+Right Arrow and Shift+Left Arrow.

Remarks

Each option is binary, so if a particular option is not set, the text selection has the opposite option. For example, if the Overtype option is not set, the text selection is set to insert mode.
