I am just wondering if there is any way I could copy a bit of text using whatever application, but having a clipboard application of my own to store all of those on a listbox? So if it possible, how can I catch a value when I the user copies some text? I could make a cool application that would be quite handy... is there any event that could catch the data when something is copied onto the clipboard?

I have a listbox control on my form that has SelectionMode as MultiSimple so I can select more than one item with my mouse. I added a contextMenuStrip to my form and added it to my listbox.

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.

although 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?

I'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 2 RepliesI want to get a matricial data (a matrix of numbers, like a txt data with TAB separators) from the clipboard and put these numbers each one in many Labels (or other Control that would be easier to work with numbers - maybe NumericUpDown, but I don't like his look). I don't know how to Declare, Define, or anything.... I just want to click on a button and then get the data from the clipboard, check if it's a number (or matrix, or whatever).... and put one by one in each Control (label) that I want.For example:
I have in the notepad the follow:
1 "TAB" 2 "TAB" 3 "TAB" 4 "ENTER" 5 "TAB" 6 "TAB" 7 "TAB" 8 .. end
like a matrix {1,2,3,4 ; 5,6,7,8}
If I just copy it to clipboard, it will be copied like a matrix, right?? So, what is the command that I have to use in VB that catch this data and bring to my program (clipboard.getdata would be the more correct?)And then, when I alredy have catch this data, how can I put the number 1 in the label1, number 2 in the label2, number 3 in the label3 and so on..Remember that I interested in use this numbers to calculate other values after and present the results in other place, and I know (maybe wrong) that labels is not the more apropriate Control to work with numbers?

View 2 RepliesI am returning to VB building, first time since HighSchool. I am creating a program that has many fields of data that you type into. When you click Generate Button it then writes all that data a .txt file and opens it in notepad.
From that point you copy everything in notepad and paste it into a ConnectWise HelpDesk Ticket.
My goal is to automatically get the data when clicking Generate to populate into the Clipboard, or let it write to the .txt file and then copy all the data from the .txt file into the clipboard. So all you have to do is Ctrl + V after Clicking "Generate"
I would like to have a button that pastes the contents of the clipboard line by line into a listbox.I think i have the logics that the clipboard would be made into an array and then i would loop through the array and add each one as a new listbox item.

There is Bitmap data on the clipboard from a screen capture. If I paste it into a RichTextBox it works OK. That is, if I remove the first two lines below.
Dim clipboardDataO As DataObject = CType(Clipboard.GetDataObject(), DataObject)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(clipboardDataO)
RichTextBoxTxt.Paste(DataFormats.GetFormat(DataFormats.Bitmap))
However, If I capture the clipboard data and restore it before I paste I no longer get my bitmap displayed in the box. My problem is, in the real situation I need to use the clipboard before I paste which is why I save it and restore it above.
1) Do you know why restoring doesn't appear to work here?
2) I can't paste before the save/restore. Is there something else I can do?

I found out that you can't really move items from databound lists, but you can remove from the datasource instead. This works fine until I want to move the item back - it fills a blank line with seemingly no data.

View 2 RepliesI have an application that receives data input from an automated set of devices. This data stream I have managed to capture & get it into a list box which I can sort based on the Device ID & the time that the response was received.There is a set time window for the devices to transmit their data into the application and during this each device is not limited to the number of responses it can send (ie :- Device 1 can send in 2 responses where Device 3 can send in 40 responses, etc).All of the responses are captured, listed & sorted within the listbox (this bit is working ).I now need to extract the last (ie:- latest) entry in the listbox for each Device ID & this is where I am stuck. I can retrieve the last item in the list but cant seem to extract the last item for each Device ID.[code]
View 2 RepliesIf I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:

Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?

I am making a TimeCard application and I got stucked.. Anyway, the program looks like this: the user inserts date,start hour and finnish hour into 3 textboxes. On the fourth textbox it will show how many hours he has spent. I am using StreamWriter to save the data to a .txt file. My plan is to make this program as simple as possible (no database, access etc.). So, my biggest problem now is how to add all data from textbox4 (the amount of worked hours). I was thinking, to save into a separate txt file the data from textbox4 and then with StreamReader to get it back into a listbox.. but then.. how to add all of them?
