How do you get an Excel Range in a TextBox?

Hi again

My C# Form is part of a .xll . I have managed to get the Form to open
up but now what I want to do for one of the TextBoxes is have the user
input an Excel range which can set by clicking a cell/range back in
the calling session of Excel.

So, if the user clicked on cell $A$1 then the TextBox would show the
address of that cell.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this please?

Thanks a lot
Lloyd

p.s. I am using ExcelDna to make my code visible to Excel.

Thanks Nicholas

Having reviewed my project and your comments I now realise that I need
to have a handle to the calling application instance (otherwise I'll
never be able to paste the results back there)...I did try the Parent
property of the Form but that returned null so now I haven't got a
clue how you find that out.

Can you please tell me?

Thanks a lot
Lloyd
