I am using VB 2008 (.Net 3.5) and MS Office 2003.Can someone please tell me how can I clear the Office clipboard from within Vb .Net. I read lot of posts on variuos communities and found that till version 2000, Office allowed it. Later MS closed the backdoor.My programming logic expects me to check if Office clipboard is empty before I perform cetain action.
View 3 Repliesim using Visual Basic 6 to automate a large amount of excel and word content into a single word document and am having to use selection.copy and selection.paste on a regular basis. this continually adds items into the office clipboard and fills it up rather rapidly making a huge drain on resources until word eventually gives up and crashes.i have a couple of things that i would like to do to that i think would prevent this from happening....
1-clear the task pane clipboard
2-switch the task pane clipboard off before my code starts automation
i've tried a couple of options to clear the clipboard but they only seem to clear the system clipboard and not the task pane one (containing its 24 resource hungry and useless items)[code]i can manually choose 'Stop Collecting' from the system tray icon menu, which appears to do what is says but i need to automate this function in someway.i find it hard to believe that microsoft would introduce a feature without giving even the most basic of access to programmers.
I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to properly use the clipboard to take information from a rich text box and send it to the clipboard. You see, if I try the following, which is pulling text from a rich text box, named RichTextBox2:

I am unable to read a pasted datagridviewrow object from the clipboard. All I want to do is, when a user has the entire row selected and copied, I would paste that row into the clipboard as a DataObject. That works just fine but when I attempt to read that DataObject (after the user clicks Paste) the DataGridViewRow that's saved in the clipboard always has a value of Nothing. Here's the code I'm using for Copy and Paste.

We have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?
View 5 Repliesi was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type

I have used VB.NET and Microsoft Offices Interop to create an application that will run on a server and will print files for different users.My problem is that I need to find a way to impersonate different users so that when MS Word opens and prints, the resulting print job is recorded under that user. I found this link that lets you run .net code as a different user - unfortunately it doesn't work with this code. The username recorded is still the user that is logged on the server.Code Removed by moderator. Any ideas how I can make the Office app I'm automating run under a different user to the .net program that is calling it?

View 1 Repliesis there a way to select a range of cells in a worksheet and clear the data in them?i DO NOT want the WHOLE ROW to be deleted, only a few selected cells (they are all adjacent to each other)and i don't think the ActiveSheet.ranges method works as:
1) the coordinates of the cells in the row to be cleared are determined logically by a VBA sub, i know how to get the coordinates, just dunno how to delete the row
2) this needs to be applied in different areas of the worksheet AND across OTHER worksheets as well.
I'm quite sure I have the logic needed to find the coordinates just need to know how to clear the cells if there is a way to do it that is similar to ActiveSheet.cells ( row, column ) then it would be best from my understanding the ranges method only takes in letter and number formats in strings... i need something that takes in number and number?
Is there a way such that I could reset/clear the values of the controls in my form no matter what type of control they are, can be controls from control suites like Janus and/or ComponentOne?
