Alternative in VBscript to sendkeys "^(c)"

[dhtguru]

I need to be able to copy highlighted text into the clipboard without using the above. I couldn't find anything in the forums that exactly matched what I needed.

THanks

Here's a couple of threads that look like they may be helpful to you:

Thanks for the quick response. However, these two posts don't seem to address my issue. I am tabbing on a website and as I tab each area where I tab to is being highlighted. I need to be able to copy the highlighted data to the clipboard each time I tab. Without using Control + c.

the alternative to sendkeys, I would think, is to use the HTML DOM to tab through the fields and and copy the data that way. But this might require that the vb code be apart of the HTML.

What kind of access to you have to the HTML?

I don't have access to the HTML.

What about using Shift+Del instead of control+c? or are you trying to eliminate the use of sendkeys altogether?

The problem I am having with control+c for some reason. Sometimes it will paste the letter c in the field to be copied instead of performing a copy.

That may just be a timing issue. Throw a delay between each sendkey

wscript.sleep 200  '200 ms

Will you post your code and relevant link to the HTML?

As you cand see I have tried Shift + F10 also, but it will sometimes loose its focus and the line and the script will fail.

Wscript.Sleep 100


' objShell.SendKeys("+{F10}")
' objShell.SendKeys "c"'

objShell.SendKeys "^c"'


Wscript.Sleep 300

objShell.SendKeys "^c"

send a "^" and then a "c".

objShell.SendKeys "^(c)"

send a ctrl+c

Thanks that seems to be doing the trick.
