How to get "selected text"? from a string

[eximo]

If I highlight text in a text string, I would like to be able to copy it to the clipboard.

I have already created an event that utilizes the Application reference to "write to clipboard"  now I need to give it the selected text.

How do I do that?

Hi,

Control-C will copy just your selected text to the clipboard but right-clicking on a control and selecting Copy Data will put the text of the whole control into the clipboard.

Copy data will put an image of the data on the clipboard, but not the txt, so if your txt exceeds the space of the window you are out of luck
