Re: Sending CTRL+C to the active window (notepad and word)

Hi all

I have a background application and I
want to get the current selected Text,
no matter what application is active .

I have tried to following:
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("^(c)");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200);
string SelectedText =
System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetText(System.Windows.Forms.TextDataFormat.Text);

In Notepad, when I run this code twice it works,
in Word it does not work at all ????

Does anybody know how to do this ?
I want to do the same like when I press CTRL+C
in windows, if there is something (somewhere) selected,
it will be copied to the clipboard.
No window needs to be activated because the application is
running in background.

My application is coded in C#,
I maybe need some ideas how to implement
the C++ code in C# ...

Thanks a lot for any comments
and best regards
