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?

        Dim ControlComboSize As CommandBarComboBox
        Set ControlComboSize = .Add(xtpControlComboBox, ID_COMBO_SIZE, "Size")
        ControlComboSize.Width = 60
        ControlComboSize.AddItem "8"
        ControlComboSize.AddItem "9"
        ControlComboSize.AddItem "10"
        ControlComboSize.AddItem "11"
        ControlComboSize.AddItem "12"
        ControlComboSize.DropDownListStyle = True

        'Set to Item 3
        ControlComboSize.ListIndex = 3

        'Print out text
        Debug.Print ControlComboSize.Text

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
