    Get Selected text from other window

    Hi all,
    I am wondering if there is anyway, I could detect if some text gets
    selected by the user in an external application. To give you an example,
    I would like to get the selected text same way as done by Babylone
    application.


    Regards,
    Joe

              Hello [Joe],

              Find window that u need (use FindWindow API function), then find you control
              and use WM_GETTEXT message to copy content of you control
