Selection.getEndIndex( )

The index of the character after the last character in the current

returns -1. If a text field has focus but no characters are selected,
it returns the value of Selection.getCaretIndex(
).
Description
The getEndIndex( ) method identifies the end of
a selection. To identify the span of characters currently selected,
use both getEndIndex( ) and
getBeginIndex( ).

The following code extends the current selection by one character to the right:
Selection.setSelection(Selection.getBeginIndex(), Selection.getEndIndex( )+ 1);
