I have a webbrowser control which I have created a contextmenu for. I have added a paste button and do docbrowser.body.inner.body = clipboard.gettext. The problem with this is when I copy text from a word document and paste it I loose all the formatting. If I remove my context menu and use the default and paste I keep my formatting.

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 want to paste a file from the clipboard that has been copied from a compress folder using VB.net. By examining the clipboard, I see there is a FileGroupDescriptorW which seems to contain some information about the file. But I have not found how to use the information to grab the file and paste it.
View 1 RepliesI want to include the clipboard from the menu strip of my MDI form, ie Cntrl/C and Cntrl/V. I need a more generic clipboard facility than the examples provided. I want to be able to copy from external programs, like Word, or controls within my program to either a Textbox, RichTextBox or whatever, of which there may be several, on a child form. In VB6 this was so simple, but I'm afraid it is proving frustrating, to say the least, in Visual Studio 2008. I have succeeded in getting data onto the clipboard from an external program, but my problem comes when trying to determine the active control on the child form to where I want to paste the data, so I know how to handle it.

View 4 RepliesI have seen a different behavior before, but this time my application just doesn't work properly when debugging, while it does everything perfectly after compilation.
My project is beginning and does just one thing: monitor the clipboard and save its contents to a XML. It has just one form (frmMain), which, when loaded, puts itself in Windows clipboard listening, via WIN32 API. Then, whenever receives a message, the form has to check if it's from clipboard and, if so, saves the actual contents.
The code is below:
Public Class frmMain
Private Const WM_CLIPBOARDUPDATE As Integer = &H31D
Private XmlDocument As System.Xml.XmlDocument
[CODE]...
So, as I've said, after compiling, everything works perfectly. However, when debugging the "AddItems" function is never called. I set a stop point in the line Win32 API is called (in frmMain_Load) and the execution NEVER STOPS THERE! Debugging line by line, I found out that after executing some lines from frmMain_Load, VStudio just jumps to WndProc and never comes back to frmMain. I mean, the form is shown, and the rest of its initialization code is never executed. Because of that, my form is never added to clipboard listening (this command is at the end of frmMain_Load) and, consequently, all messages my window receives are not from clipboard, and, therefore, nothing is saved.
Is it normal to VStudio just bypass some code because a event triggered other method? This could lead to lots of complications and it's not consistent with after compiling behavior. A proof that what I said is actually happening is this: I passed the last 5 lines from frmMain_Load (where the Win32API is called) to the beginning, so my program would call the API before initializing the XML file. OK, now what I have: the API is called, but the XML commands are never executed. Consequently, "AddNewEntry" is called, but I have a null-reference error, because my XML was never initialized. Have you ever faced that bizarre behavior? What can I do so my debugging is correct and I don't have to compile my program for each test I want to do?
I have an application I wrote that replaces Windows Explorer as a shell for Kiosk purposes. The application maintains two configuration files: one that is used and maintained for application purpose (app.config) and another that is stored in another directory so it doesn't get overwritten when the GUI attempts to update from a repository. When the application is ran in a normal environment it works perfectly. However when it is used during start-up or when switching users, the application can't seem to load the information in the other directory.
From the manager class
Private Shared rootCP As String
Friend Shared Sub loadConfig()
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
[Code] .....
Another function later attempts to retrieve the data from the rootCP string but can only access it if the application was started after system start-up.
I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.
So the app that I am working on requires me to launch shell commands that output text into a command prompt window. I need to be able to capture that text into a string.

For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"

I am trying to execute a shell command with vb.net that includes variable from the vb.net code.I have experience with batch, and Unix scripting. I had to modify the contents of the code as it is confidential to me at the moment.Example of my problem:

Dim Location As String = "UNC_Path_Goes_Here"
Dim Options As String = "/Options go here"
Shell("cmd.exe", /C Variable1, Location, Options) This is something that must be run from CMD.exe and I am trying to do it this way to make it as dynamic as possible.
