Copy, Cut, Paste

[trenta87]

Does anyone know how to implement a copy, paste and cut function in my program. I want a base function which will copy cut and paste text from all textboxes current form

I want a copy paste cut button on my mdiparent form and this function to work on any form and all textboxes in the active form.

Please help!!

I would look to the My.Computer.Clipboard namespace. You will have to build the routines that grab the data and paste it to the new locations. I would probably build a CutPaste class that accepts FromForm and ToForm form variables. If you have the same textboxes, etc on each form, then the moving should be fairly straight forward.

Example code for the "I can't google" people:

Dim strClipData As New String("")
For Each strItem As String In listBox1.Items
   strClipData += strItem.ToString.TrimEnd + vbLf
Next
Dim aDataObject As New DataObject()
aDataObject.SetData(DataFormats.Text, strClipData)
'Load Clipboard Data
Clipboard.SetDataObject(aDataObject)
