Hi !
Same question, almost one year later xD

Here is my code :

GUI.skin = skin;
GUIContent text = new GUIContent (myText);
cursorIndex = GUI.skin.GetStyle ("MyLabel").GetCursorStringIndex (rect, text, Event.current.mousePosition);
if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint) {
	int controlId = GUIUtility.GetControlID (text, FocusType.Passive);
	GUI.skin.GetStyle ("MyLabel").DrawWithTextSelection (rect, text, controlId, 5, 20);
}

And no selection … :frowning:

Due to internal bug, the selection is displayed only if setting GUIUtility.keyboardControl.

Try this:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

/// <summary>
/// Selection test.
/// Author: Danko Kozar
/// </summary>
public class SelectionTest : MonoBehaviour {
	
	private GUIContent _text = new GUIContent ("I want select this part by code");
	private Rect _rect = new Rect(100, 100, 200, 150);
	
    void OnGUI ()
    {
	    if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint) {
		    int id = GUIUtility.GetControlID (_text, FocusType.Keyboard, _rect);
			GUIUtility.keyboardControl = id; // added
		    GUI.skin.textArea.DrawWithTextSelection(_rect, _text, id, 5, 10);
	    }
    }
}
