That is a good questionn and I am going to say yes; as long as the value is
assigned to variable; in this case, a string variable.
I pass code between AutoCAD and Excel with no problem, so it the code can
get to the other app, then I'm sure it can be read by a textbox in the
receiving app.
I have read lines of text from a .txt file into a list box in ACAD, so that
certainly can be done.

Can you be a little more specific as to what you are trying to do?
Besides Excel, what is the other app?

Fellow programmers,

This one is driving me up a wall... Is it possible to get the value
of selected text on another program as the value of a textbox on a
userform? If so, how is this done? I've looked into the some API code
for GetWindowText and WM_GETTEXT but I have been very unsuccessful
very quickly. Any thoughts? I appreciate any feed back available.

Thank you in advance!
