AddIn Express VCL for Outlook question

Question: With Add-In Express VCL, I'm trying to read the Body of an Outlook email that I have open in an Outlook form. I have a button installed on the mail form which works fine to execute my code.

I can read the Outlook email body, but what I really want is the ability to read any highlighted text in the Outlook email body that the user may be highlighting.

Is this possible? Is there a way that my Delphi code can detect what text of the Outlook email body has been highlighted?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi Myles,

Unfortunately the Outlook Object Model doesn't contain any methods to access the selected text in the e-mail body. But I think you can try to get the selected (highlighted) text using Windows API functions like EnumWindows, GetWindowText, etc.

You can also give Outlook Redemption a try...
