IMHO it seems a confusing UI design to have a toolbar button that can 
interact with one of several different widgets depending on 
circumstances. Anyway, it's up to you to decide the logic by which one 
of the text boxes is chosen to have its selection copied.

Perhaps, you could use evt_set_focus to track the most recently focussed 
textbox, or perhaps you could test each textbox in turn with 
get_selection to see if it has a selection.

Suggest you spend some time trying things out and working through the 
wxruby samples and documentation to see what's possible.
