ClipBoard

[JDAEMS]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a linkbutton on my page called "Paste". As you can see from the name, the idea is to paste something from the clipboard.

I would like to set the pasted value to an existing session variable. How can I accomplish this?

I am not sure, but I balieve pasting from the clipboard is only possible in javaScript and the session variable only exists in the visual basic script, so how can I set one value equal to the other? Is this possible?

thank you for your help

kind regards
Jelle

I have found this on the internet, but my application does not recognize the iDataObject. Should I import something or is there another way?

Public Function GetClipboardText() As String
Dim objClipboard As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
With objClipboard
If .GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then Return _
.GetData(DataFormats.Text)
End With
End Function

hi,

in your VBScript code, create a variable to hold the session value and send it out as a javascript variable. now you can access the value in the browser...
