Showing portion of text selected

[Lulu]

Screen.activecontrol.name tells me the name of the text
box that has the focus.

Screen.activecontrol tells me the value inside the text
box that has the focus

But is there a qualifier I can use to see the value of the
portion of the text box string that I have selected?

Say you have a text box with the value ABC Company. You
select only the ABC portion of that string (as you would
with a filter by selection for instance). Is there
anything I can write which will tell me only the string I
have selected?

Thanks for any ideas.

SelStart tells you the character position where the selection starts, and
SelLength tells you the number of characters selected.

Mid() gives you the actual characters.
