Char *Buffer;
Code
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
int Size = Edit1->SelLength; //Get the length of the selected text in Edit1.
Size++; //Add room for null character.
Char *Buffer = new Char[Size]; //Creates Buffer dynamic variable
Edit1->GetSelTextBuf(Buffer,Size); //Puts Edit1->Text into Buffer
Edit2->Text = Buffer;
delete [] Buffer;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
Note: The same thing could be accomplished easier as follows:
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::Button2Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Edit2->Text = Edit1->SelText;
}
