how to get selected text outside the .NET application

MS
Hi,

Does anyone know how to get selected text outside the .NET application?

For instance:

1) In Internet Explorer, MS Excel or any other, I select some text
2) I perform a mouse click holding a key down
3) My .NET application gets the selected text that was under the mouse
cursor when the click was performed.

Thanks!
