How do I paste a VLS (very long string) into a textbox control on another form?

MLH
I'm having trouble pasting a VLS into a textbox
control on FormB. FormB is open in form view.
I'm trying to do it from a procedure running in
FormA. I'm up against 2048-Char limits no matter
how hard I try.

Funny thing is, I can easily hilite, cut 'n paste
into the control manually - no problem. I just
can't accomplish it from within code.

Ideas?

So does
Forms("FormB"). Text0 = "VLS Over 2048 Characters ..."

Not work?

(You'll need to replace Text0 with the appropriatecont rol name)

According to the help, the .Text property is limited to 2048
characters, something I hit a while back and was unable to resolve. I
had no problem setting the .Value property, which got the text into
the textbox but would not fire off any event procedures.

It appears to be a limitation of VBA.

Thx, guys... but my problem turned out
to be related to something else entirely.
Sorry about that - I'm easily confused.

Greetings all, Quick newbie type question: I would like to be able to trap non-numerical data entered into a textbox via CTRL+C and/or Shift+Insert. I realise that this data can be validated using the TEXTn_validate event but I would like to stop the user before it gets that far.

Not sure why this is an issue, but apparently when you paste a string into a textbox that is bound to a dataset/datasource, it does not save into the dataset. I've tried several things including moving the BindingContext.Position but I haven't found an easy way short of handling updating the dataset manually. Anyone have any experience with this and how to get around it? -Howard

Hello All, I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image, they select an image using an OpenFileDialog: Dim result As DialogResult = Pic_Sel.ShowDialog() If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then

Hi, I've got a vb.net winforms app. Out of the box, I can use Ctrl X, C and V as expected in controls like textboxes.

It seems now I need to implement handlers for these functions. I tried to do so, but say the paste handler, I need to call paste on a specific control and that isn't necessarily...
