Hi

How can I copy some text to the clipboard so it can be pasted into other
apps?

Thanks

Regards
 
Hi John,

Copy
\\\
Me.textbox1.SelectAll()
Clipboard.SetDataObject(me.textbox1.SelectedText)
///
Paste
\\\
Dim iData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
If iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then
Me.textbox2.Text = CType(iData.GetData(DataFormats.Text), String)
Else
Me.textbox2.Text = ""
End If
///
I hope this helps a little bit?

In VB You have a intrinsic object called CLIPBOARD and it has its
methods such as SetObjectData and GetObjectData for you to store
something into the clipboard and later retrieve it.
