I am creating an application which uses global hotkeys to copy selected text from currently focused application. My application runs in background & monitors clipboard using WinProc method.

The problem is copying text from Excel spreadsheet, when multiple Worhbooks of excel application are running, it always copy selected text of first workbook opened.

I have searched a lot regarding how to access different workbooks, or access currently focused workbook, but none of the method worked for me.

I want to use this case scenario:
1) User opens a new Excel Workbook (say WorkBook1).
2) User press hotkey (say CTRL+ALT+V), (Working fine)

3) User opens another new Excel workbook (say WorkBook2).
4) User press hotkey, focusing new workbook. (not working, it is copying selected text from first instance of workbook).

I used the following code to get Excel Application:

C#
Excel.Application objExcel;
objExcel = (Excel.Application)Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
...


using
C#
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Name
always gives me the name of first workbook opened.

I only need to access selected text from current active workbook using C# code.



Can anyone please help me solving this problem...

Thanks in advance.
