Using clipboard features

[soodvarun]

Dear frnds

I have designed an "Edit Menu" where I have cut, copy, paste and delete selections.

I tried with the "Clipboard class" but dont' know how to use it.

Can anyone help me with it?

Will be thankful for your reply.

Simply create a string which you want to hold on the clipboard. In your case it may be the contents of a grid cell, as it sounds as if you are using a context menu

Getting data to the clipboard is cut and copy, the only difference been is that cut, clears the original source

'Cut and Copy
dim s as String
s = "Im Going to the ClipBoard"
System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(s, False)
'Paste
s = System.Windows.Forms.clipboard.GetDataObject
txtPaste.text = s

Sweep
...if it works dont mess with it

Thanks for your help.

Yes it will work definitly.

But the problem is say I want to access it from the menu and the destination paste box (txtpaste) is not know to me...
It could be anything from a grid cell to textbox to a combo box.

I want sth which can fit every where. I mean something general.

Kindly help me with it.

Varun Sood.
