Determine if there's any text selection in active window

Hello.
Sorry if I'm asking an old question,
but I couldn't find it anywhere. If there is some link, please paste it.

I want to know how to determine in Windows if there is any text selection in window. Actually, doesn't matter in what language, but C# would be best.
Thank you for any answer.

Greetings, you posted your question in the C/C++ Articles section which is
dedicated to the production of articles on C or C++. Questions like yours should
be asked in the C/C++ Forum. See the Forums menu item in the blue menu
bar at the top of this page. I moved your question to the C/C++ forum. Best of luck.
