Current Selection fo CommandBarComboBox

   How do I get/set the current text selection for a CommandBarComboBox and for that matter a CommandBarEdit object? There doesn't seem to be a property that lets me get this. Any ideas?

	Sorry, I didn't explain that very well. I'm looking for the actual selected or highlighted text. So if I have highlighted "peter" in the word "peterson" how I programatically go about getting that "peter" is selected. I suppose the equivalent in a VB TextBox are the SelLength, SelStart, SelText Properties. Thanks Colin
