The answer is going to depend on whose maps you are using and what API

@afoysal Select an area to do what with? Either way, you’re going to need to know the polygon of each postcode.

@afoysal You just keep repeating the same thing.
Why do you need to select/highlight postcodes? What feature or problem are you trying to solve? You obviously have some reason for wanting a user to select a postcode area.

You can start by looking at the places API.
In the UK, google supports boundary polygons for the 'locality' level.
See https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/dds-boundaries/coverage
But as you have admitted, you need someone to build this for you, so I suggest fiver.com, people per hour, etc

@Snapey Thanks. I am looking for something similar to your example. But I would like to find the area using PostCode.
How can I implement your example in Web Page ?

@afoysal Implementing an API like that into a full-blown website is hundreds or thousands of lines of code. You need to do that yourself or pay someone to do it for you. Nobody here is going to make your project for you.
