Copy From, Erase, Then Paste Back Into The Clipboard?
Jul 26, 2010
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 am trying to copy/paste a structure to the clipboard the copy appears to work but the paste errors with "COMException crossed a native/managed boundary ErrorCode = -2147467259".The error occurs on the highlighted code line below. Is it possible to put a structure on the clipboard?

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.
Im want to use the right mouse click to copy and paste the data in text boxes to a clipboard. Ive tried looking for examples of this but couldnt find any.
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 a small copy/paste type of program. You put text in the boxes, click copy and it copies it to the clipboard. I have a text file attached to format the text when it is copied. what I want to accomplish is...If I don't fill in every single textbox with text, I don't want that particular field to show when I paste it. Example, I have the layout like below on the text document.
textbox1. textbox2. textbox3.
No matter what, when I click copy, the text document is going to copy textbox1,2,and 3. If I only put text in textbox 1 and 3, I don't want it to copy textbox2 if its empty.
I have set data into clipboard and I have assigned it some hot key e.g. ctrl+alt+d now I want is while the my application created in vb is running whenever I press the hotkeys my program will put the data into that active window by getting it from the clipboard.
How I can Paste from Clipboard a file to my path? I work in VB .NET. I got filename from clipboard but don't know how to extract file from cliboard and save it to my folder.
Dim data As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject() If data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then Dim files As String() = data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) End If
I 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.
With a network tools application I'm putting together. I have all the information shown in text boxes and have a piece of code to copy the text to the clipboard but its not working. It works on the other text boxes but not on this one the code is.
'Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click Clipboard.SetDataObject(Label11.Text) End Sub'

Anyone know how to programmatically copy a set of controls to the clipboard, so the designer can then paste them onto the form?I want to make a function to select a set of fields from the database, make them into configured controls, then put them on the clipboard so I can paste them onto my form in the right area.
I have an explorer type window in this application I am building and I need to be able to copy files, folders, etc (in any combination) to the clipboard so that they can be pasted elsewhere. I cannot get the clipboard to copy the files in any format that will allow them to be put back out the same way.[code]...
This is kind of a two part question. I'm trying to make a very simple automated program that will run two stored procedures (one that updates, one that displays the new results) and then copies the results to the clipboard and pastes it in a new e-mail. I already have the e-mail generating and grabbing whatever is on the clipboard, but I need help with the store procedures.
Every guide I look at on Google seems to show a slightly different way of working with SQL, but I threw this together and need to know if it's working. I don't get any errors and the program "hangs" about as long as it takes for the actualy SP to run, but how do I get the "rows affect" output into a textbox or something?[code]...
When i copy text from richtextbox using clipboard.settext vbcrlf is missing. when pasting to notepad or any other textboxes there is no enters. all in the same line.?
I have complex UserControl (grid, edit controls for grid, etc...) and I want handle CTRL+C keyboard shortcut, however I don't want disable a native functions by edit controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...). If the CTRL+C is not handled by other inner controls I want handle it by myself (copy whole row(s) from grid, etc...). I tried override WndProc method in UserControl and check for WM_COPY and WM_COPYDATA, but it doesn't work. It works only on final target control (TextBox for example).
I have an Excel Addin with a button that I would like to use to copy a link to the workbook that is currently active. I am able to get the text to copy to the clipboard, however when I paste it in Word or an Email, it pastes as plain text, but I want a link. I've played with different DataFormats, but I don't think I quite grasp how to use that. Below is what I currently have:
Private Sub btnCopyLink_Click(sender As System.Object, e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonControlEventArgs) Handles btnCopyLink.Click Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveWorkbook

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?
