ASCII Screen scrape or equivalent for Browser Control in app.

I'm trying to capture the rendered text in browser control (Without the
HTML).

One of the methods I tried was to send keys to the browser control - copy it
to the clipboard and then get the text back from the clipboard. such as
following:
reports1._ReportBrowser.Select(); (Browser control)

SendKeys.SendWait("^a"); (Send Cntrl-A)

SendKeys.SendWait("^c"); (Send Cntl-C)

string ClipText =
Clipboard.GetText(System.Windows.Forms.TextDataFor mat.Text); (Copy contents
of clipboard.

Debug.WriteLine(ClipText);

However - for some reason - it's not selecting everything in the document.
If I actually click in the browser and do these key strokes by hand - it
works perfectly. If there's a better solution than using sendkeys - I'd
love to hear it.

Thanks,

David
