Did you already have a look at this CodeProject article ? This could be a start even if this is not exactly what you are looking for.

If it do not solve your issue, have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.textpattern.getselection(v=vs.110).aspx, as suggested in the comments.
