I have written an application that implements a webbrowser control. 
The webbrowser control opens online pdf documents just fine.  I need
to be able to capture the text selected by the user.  Can I access the
Reader control and find out what text is selected (if any)?  This
shouldn't be too difficult (as it can be done with any of the
microsoft document types that open in a browser), I just can't find
any documentation on accessing the reader object loaded by the
webbrowser.


Thanks
