Wrapping an Edit Control... _GUICtrlEditGetSel, but with Data not Position

[litlmike]

In the forums if you create a post you can modify text by using the button to insert code. For instance, if the user highlights a word and presses the bold icon the forum inserts the code for bold on each side of the word/phrase. I am trying to do this in a GUI, but I don't know how to get the data that is highlighted. I thought that _GUICtrlEditGetSel would work, but it returns the Position not the data highlighted.

What should I look at to accomplish this? I started with this, but this obviously doesn't work:

Case $Button2
            $Cur_Sel = _GUICtrlEditGetSel($Edit1)
            $Mod_Sel = "<b>" & $Cur_Sel & "</b>"
            _GUICtrlEditReplaceSel($Edit1, TRUE, $Mod_Sel)

Thanks in Advance.

Erm.. what is $Edit1 ?

Wanna post code with a full gui in it?

As i cannot run that code.

This is a copy function that was made by SmokeN.

Func Copy($edit1)
    Dim $edit1
    $a_sel = _GUICtrlEditGetSel($edit1)
    Local $WholeEdit = GUICtrlRead($edit1)
    Local $Trim = StringLeft(StringTrimLeft($WholeEdit, $a_sel[1]), $a_sel[2] - $a_sel[1])
    ClipPut($Trim)
EndFunc   ;==>Copy
