The usual UI indication for a feature like this is for the selection rectangle to be green in one mode, blue in the other. Or something along those lines.

As so many submissions around here demonstrate, though, UI design ain't what it used to be.

There's also frequently a dotted border for inclusive selection and a solid border for exclusive selection. Very subtle. Makes it easy to remember which is which if you know how roads work.
