(solved) grab selected text from anywhere msickel21-Jan-13 23:34 msickel 21-Jan-13 23:34  Hi All I am pretty new on C# and I do have a question. I have created a little Program which will move to the tray if it is started. Now I wan't do the following. If I select a text in any program (word, excel, webbrowser....) I will that the text is copied by my program, maybe to clipboard or a textfile. How can I do that, a little working codesample will be very nice. Regards Martin modified 23-Jan-13 6:58am.
