This function returns the selected text in an Edit control. If no text is selected, an empty string is returned. Certain types of controls, such as RichEdit20A, might not produce the correct text in some cases (e.g. Metapad).
A TargetError is thrown if the window or control could not be found.
An Error or OSError is thrown if there was a problem retrieving the text.
Window titles and text are case sensitive. Hidden windows are not detected unless DetectHiddenWindows has been turned on.
