How to copy WebBrowser Content to Clipboard as Text

I came across this problem while working the other day. Here is the solution in Managed C++

 

In order to copy the content of the WebBrowser control to the clipboard as Text  you need to dive into the underlying COM interfaces inside the webbrowser control.  IHTMLDocument2 gives us the selection.  We just need to pull the text out of it:

 

IHTMLDocument2^ htmlDocument = (IHTMLDocument2^) webBrowser1->Document->DomDocument;

IHTMLSelectionObject^ mySelection = htmlDocument->selection;

String^ text = ((IHTMLTxtRange^ )mySelection->createRange())->text;

Clipboard::SetText(text);
