 In AutoCAD and IntelliCAD products this is called window selection. My humble suggestion is that when selecting objects via a selection window by clicking left-to-right, the edges of the selection window appear as solid lines, and only objects wholly inside the selected window are chosen. When objects are selected via a selection window by clicking right-to-left, the edges of the selection window appear as dotted lines, and objects wholly inside the selection window AND objects that cross the selection window are selected.

EDIT================
Or perhaps make the window behavior changeable by the user
END EDIT======================

Just my two cents worth.

This method of selecting objects is very handy for moving and stretching objects.
