Pasting into INPUTBOX

[StewartUK]

When working in the IDE, I can use Ctrl+V to paste something into the textbox on an INPUTBOX.

When I'm in my app, I can't.

Has anyone else found this to be the case? Is there a solution?

Thanks,

Stewart

Just a SWAG, but do you have menu with Copy, Paste, etc. defined in your application? You don't have to actually activate it.

Stewart,

Markros is right. If you create a menu based on the built-in Edit menu, then launch it within your app, you should get the full clipboard functionality. The menu doesn't have to be visible.

An easy way to create the menu is to go to the menu designer, create an Edit pad, click Insert Bar, then select each of the edit menu items in turn (Select All, Paste, etc).

My apologies, I should have said that I can use Ctrl+V in my app with textboxes, edit boxes etc etc and it works (even without the corresponding menu item). Just not in an INPUTBOX.

Any further inspiration?

Thanks,

Stewart

Stewart,

Actually, your question was correct. It was me who didn't see the mention of the Inputbox.

That said, I think the answer still stands. I've just tested it by adding an Inputbox to my application, and Ctrl+V works fine (as do the other clipboard key combos).

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but are sure the clipboard contains text?

Mike

Hmm, bizarre though it sounds, I must have set something to stop it working with the INPUTBOX.

Made up my own version now

Thanks,
