My web page displays a list box which is populated from a sql server database. The user wants to be able to click a button which copies part of the data in the list box.I found lots of examples which do not really do what I want or do not work.
View 7 RepliesI have a listbox control on my form that has SelectionMode as MultiSimple so I can select more than one item with my mouse.

This could be in a word doc, web browser, any app.

However, if I try to debug the program or do any human stuff it gets fixed by it self. But I don't want human intervention.

I have a VB.Net 2005 project, that has 136 textboxes. I have a button, that when pressed, should copy all of their content to clipboard. In order. Each Textbox has one letter in it.
Is there a way I can implement a loop into it, so for every TextBoxCount or something, it copys it into clipboard?
I have to automate a program that is outside of my control. The way I'm doing this is to use SendKeys.SendWait("keys") to the other program. The problem is, there are multiple fields that might be active and no way to select a single one with confidence. The fields are all different lengths, so my solution is to copy something really long, copy it to the clipboard, and look at the last character that made it though, so I know which field is selected in the other program. This overrides the clipboard, unfortunately.

I have a picture box and if I use Clipboard.SetImage(PictureBox.image) Then I can only paste the image into things like Paint and MS word. I can't paste it as a file into a folder/desktop.So how can I copy the image to to the clipboard and if gets pasted to a folder then it becomes a file?
