INCORPORATING WINDOWS CLIPBOARD INTO MY APP

[TNN]

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to incorporate the Windows clipboard into my application. That is to be able to copy, cut, and paste to and from the Windows clipboard from my application.

Straight out of the MSDN documentation:
[tt]
Private Sub mnuCopy_Click ()
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText
End Sub

Private Sub mnuCut_Click ()
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText Text1.SelText = &quot;&quot;
End Sub

Private Sub mnuPaste_Click ()
Text1.SelText = Clipboard.GetText()
End Sub
[/tt]
These operations work best when performed from a menu selection (the text box can retain focus).

Check MSDN for the methods for dealing with other types of clipboard data (bitmaps, etc.)

Good luck!
