Get selected text?

[CaptainSparky]

Hello.

I am working in a clipboard manager which I will release to autoit's example scripts. The problem is that I have no Idea how to get currently selected text WITHOUT sending ^c... I've already check out some other similar topics in the forum but nothing..

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. ( Also getting the selected text outside autoit's form, for example getting selected text not from Autoit's GUI but from another window, like Notepad. )

You want to copy selected text to the clipboard independant from the application the text was selected from?

@water Somewhat yes, copy text from outside Autoit's GUI, for example another application, web browser or anything similar.

IIRC there was a similar discussion some time ago.
Unfortunately I can't remember the title of the thread.

But I'm sure you will find an answer by searching the forum.

​And I did. Thank you so much for your help, this is why I love Autoit so much, because their community is awesome.
