Detect if text is selected

[muhmuuh]

Hello!

I want to create a program that detects if any text is selected. The idea is to copy this text and put it in a file but I can't find a way to detect if any text is selected. I searched the forum for similar topics but I did not find anything relevant. If you have idea please share.

Thanks

In the helpfile under User Defined Functions (UDF) -> GuiEdit Management: there is _GUICtrlEdit_GetSel.

Retrieves the starting and ending character positions of the current selection

#Include <GuiEdit.au3>

_GUICtrlEdit_GetSel($hWnd)

But this is for the Edit control only! Search for similar features if it's for something else then the Edit box.

Hi!

I want to get selected text from other programs like notepad or ie not from a gui control. My only idea so far is to check if the pouse cursor has changed from a arrow to a this 'I' - shaped figure but then how can I know that some text is selected? And also it won't work when I press ctrl+a and on some sites the cursor doesn't change.

Does someone have any idea?

Sleep(7000)

ClipPut("")

Send("^c")

Sleep(100)

If ClipGet() <> "" Then MsgBox(0,"You selected", ClipGet())
