Is there a cleaner way of dealing with clearing the clipboard than just 'clearing' it [clipboard.clear()]. I want to prevent file copying while these files are unencrypted, but if you clear the clipboard between rightclick-copy and rightclick-paste, it crashesexplorer.Is there a way to root out specific files (by name or type) from the clipboard or deal with the crash from WinExplorer?
View 4 RepliesI have a DataGridView which lists the paths of a group of files, pptx, xlxs, etc. From a context menu they can copy the name of the file onto the clipboard, or delete the file or rename the file, but I would like to be able to actually attach the file itself to the clipboard so it could be pasted as an attachment to an email or something like that. How do I get the file itself onto the clipboard when I only have the path to it?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to program that specific data will be copied to the clipboard so the user can paste it in, for example, Excel or Word. I already know that the following code can do this:Clipboard.setdataobject( " some text " )But that's where my problem just starts. It seems I can only copy the data to Excel and Word etc. as long as my application is running. As soon as I quit it, the clipboard is empty.

View 4 RepliesI googled some code that takes listview contents and puts it into the clipboard, but it doesn't work, when I paste the contents into Excel it looks weird!Here's the code that copies listview contents to clipboard:
Public Sub CopyListViewToClipboard(ByVal lv As ListView)
Dim buffer As New StringBuilder
For i As Integer = 0 To lv.Items.Count - 1
[code]....
The code makes sense to me when I'm trying to see what it's doing but why in the world when I paste the contents into Excel it looks like this:I don't understand...everything is fine when I'm adding new items to the listview and all, but when I click "copy" and then paste it into ms excel this is it how it looks like...
im 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 am still messing around with Cntrl/Copy and Paste from a menustrip. Paste is working fine. The copy is working to a certain extent. It will copy the complete text field from one control to another. how do I determine what is the selected text only. My code below:

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.

how can i set administrator privileges selectively in my application depending on whether it needs to write a registry value or not?my app needs the elevated privileges once, then each subsequent execution needs standard permission.
I want to know how to only deploy/copy the app.config file in a deployment project based on if it already exists or not. So if this is the first installation, I want to copy the app.config file to the installation directory. If it is already there, I don't want to write over it.
I also do not want this file un-installed if the either the user or the setup.exe uninstalls the program. The users will be updating this file with local information, and everytime i have a new update, I don't want to have to have them reenter it.
I have an industrial control program that we install on OEM equipment. This equipment falls into one of two categories; those WITH a special piece of IO hardware installed on the computer and those without.
This IO hardware has .NET 3.5 support assemblies, and is easy to program for. In my program, I reference the assemblies under the Project Properties and I'm good to go. Here's my problem... my program now seems to NEED this assembly to even start up, even if I'm not directly accessing anything in it until much later in the programming. When we ship any version of this equipment; I need to install the IO hardware assemblies whether the equipment needs it or not just for my program to run. The assemblies are bundled onto a hardware driver disk, and this sucker is 3gig.
What I would like to do is alter my program so that it runs no matter if it finds those assemblies or not. If not, then it will automatically close off certain functionallities (you can't use that because your computer don't have the hardware installed); and ideally, Visual Studio won't have 100 errors about a "missing reference". If found, then it will call them and use them normally as the program currently does.
I was wondering if there was anyway to 'scan' page sources of websites and download only certain files based on their extensions, as you would by going to view -> page source in a web browser? Then, saving, perhaps, a .pdf, or a .swf file? I really don't know where to start.

I've got myself a CSV file with the following contents:
1,The Compact,1.8GHz,1024MB,160GB,440

3,The Workhorse,2.4GHz,2048MB,220GB,650
It's a list of computer systems, basically, that the user can purchase.I need to read this file, line-by-line, into an array. Let's call this array csvline().The first line of the text file would stored in csvline(0). Line two would be stored in csvline(1). And so on. (I've started with zero because that's where VB starts its arrays). A drop-down list would then enable the user to select 1, 2 or 3 (or however many lines/systems are stored in the file). Upon selecting a number - say, 1 - csvline(0) would be displayed inside a textbox (textbox1, let's say). If 2 was selected, csvline(1) would be displayed, and so on.
It's not the formatting I need help with, though; that's the easy part. I just need someone to help teach me how to read a CSV file line-by-line, putting each line into a string array - csvlines(count) - then increment count by one so that the next line is read into another slot.So far, I've been able to paste the numbers of each system into an combobox:
Using csvfileparser As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser _
("F:folderprogramnameprogramnameinDebugsystems.csv")
Dim csvalue As String()[code]......
But this only selects individual values. I need to figure out how selecting one of these numbers in the combobox can trigger textbox1 to be appended with just that line (I can handle the formatting, using the string.format stuff). If I try to do this using csvalue = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I get the following error message:
"Error 1 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'."
If I then put it as an array, ie: csvalue() = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I then get a different error message:"Error 1 Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array."

But when I run the program, Clear() cleared both dt and dttemp! Why? Aren't dt and dttemp supposed to be two distinct instances of DataTable?
(I finally found a solution - dttemp = dt.Copy() instead of dttemp = dt. But I still can't see why Copy() was necessary in this case.
I am using the StreamWriter to create a log file for my application. However I do not see a method on how to clear the file (make the file blank again). Also before I clear the file I want to rename it so that I can have multiple log files, a new one produced everytime the application runs.

View 3 Repliesalthough this topic has been posted for many times, I still can't figure out how to copy multi formats in clipboard.For example, I have a class called "Meta" and it contains data of a drawing. So if someone copy it to the clipboard, it should contains the original data of the class in a custom format called "drawing", a metafile of the drawing and a bitmap in case some app can't read metafiles. How exactly can I do?
