I want to make a button to put in a text box the text that it's in the ClipBoard.
How can i do that?

Hi,

Try this:

--------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetText
End Sub
-------------------------------------------------------

Remember to set the textbox multiline property to true if you want it to show multiple lines.

Since the clipboard can contain more than just text, I would change one thing in the code above. You need to check the format type before placing the clipboard data in the text box. Try this . . .

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFText) Then
     Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetText
  end if 
End Sub
