Maybe add a mouse up event handler, something like,..

Code:

---

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
    If Not (WebBrowser1.Document Is Nothing) Then
        WebBrowser1.Document.AttachEventHandler("onmouseup", AddressOf wb_OnMouseUp)
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub wb_OnMouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    If (WebBrowser1.Document Is Nothing) Then Return
    Dim htmlDocument As mshtml.IHTMLDocument2 = TryCast(WebBrowser1.Document.DomDocument, mshtml.IHTMLDocument2)
    Dim currentSelection As mshtml.IHTMLSelectionObject = htmlDocument.selection
    If currentSelection IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim range As mshtml.IHTMLTxtRange = TryCast(currentSelection.createRange(), mshtml.IHTMLTxtRange)
        If range IsNot Nothing Then
            Try
                If range.text.Trim.Length > 0 Then
                    ' add selected text to RTB
                    RichTextBox1.AppendText(range.text & Environment.NewLine)
                End If
            Catch
            End Try
        End If
    End If
End Sub

""vb Code:

RichTextBox1.AppendText(range.text & Environment.NewLine)
