Select/mark specific word in SWT Textfield

I've got an SWT Textfield with some text which is added automatically. Now I want to select a specific phrase in the text automatically, so that the user could replace this without the manual selection. But all I've found in the api is the selectAll() method, which works but selects ALL the text, not a specific part.

Is there any way to do so?

Text#setSelection(int start, int end) will do what you need.

Example:

Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER);
text.setText("This is some random text");
text.setSelection(5, 7);

Looks like this:
