Take a look at 'SendKeys.Send' and/or p/invoke on the 'SendInput' function.

Thanks, I have done that as I'm working on a hotkey application.

Looks like I'll have to figure out hotkey registration and calls to the
windows API to achieve my objective which is to paste strings to the
Operating System.

Any suggestions?

I am looking for a way to let the users copy e.g. a multi-line address from a textfile and paste it into a webpage where there is one input field for each address line in such a way that not only the first line is pasted, but instead the program automatically jumps to the next field and put line 2 in there and so on. Can this be done? I tried with onkeydown to check for event.keyCode == 13, but it doesn't seem to work with paste. Brgds

I'm running a VB6 program, the IDE for a compiler. Paste doesn't work if the text was cut/copied from within the program. That is: 1. Cut/copy inside the program, can't paste. Program: CTRL-V doesn't work, "Paste" grayed out in menu. 2. Cut/copy inside the program, CAN paste to another program (i.e.: Notepad).

However, in most instances, the item number will be selected from another program. I would like to copy it from the other program and paste it into the Access form to speed up the process, however, when I do so I recieve "The item number you entered is not in the list."

Hello, I am looking for a clever way to prevent someone from pasting copied text outside of my app. I know how to monitor the clipboard and get an WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD message when text is stored in the clipboard... If only I could detect some kind of outgoing message that the clipboard is about to paste, then I could check to see if my app is currently in focus and allow/deny as necessary.

In an app I would like the user to be able to paste a Groupwise message into several fields of a record. Since Groupwise doesn't offer good save-as or export-options, the easiest way is that the user selects the whole message in the Groupwise viewer and copies it to the clipboard. As an example, the following text would be on the clipboard: <<< From: Cleef, R. van To: Jack Mapel Date: 14-09-06 12:17

I'm trying to code cut, copy, and paste in vb 2005 so that when the user clicks on a toolbar button, the cut/copy/paste will work with whatever textbox the cursor is current located in (I have about 20 textboxes on the form).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
