Access to selected text in outlook explorer preview pane

N

NewCoder

I have a section of code that can get control via a button that I have added on an explorer command bar, ala ItemsCB. Everything works as expected. I can determine when the appropriate item is selected. When the selected item is an Inbox plain-text message, I want to access the text that is being shown in the preview pane. I want only the text that may have been highlighted by the user, not the entire message body. How could I do this?

You can't. Even in an open item you can't access the selected text in
the Inspector unless you are using Word as your editor and use the
Word object model.
