Best way to cut/copy/paste an object to/from clipboard?

Tom
What is the best way to cut/copy an internal object to the clipboard
and then paste it back in? For instance, I have an internal DataTable
that I want to put on the clipboard, and then later on retrieve that
data. I know to use ClipBoard.SetDa taObject, but when I tried this and
then tried to retrieve the object, I either got some error message
about it (clipboard) not responding, or I would get the object back but
I could never convert it back into a DataTable.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Tom

I'm trying to come up with a way to create a contextmenu that will do all the "standard" functions (cut, copy, paste, undo, etc). There seems to be a lot of information out there - but nothing seems to work for me. A few people refer to txt.copy() txt.paste(), etc. I'm not sure if those are old functions, but they do not work for me. I've tried textbox1.selectall() - that works in selecting

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. I've got a menustrip, and if I click the link "Add standard items" which adds Cut copy and paste commands, this functionality no longer works. 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...

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).

And to ensure the contents of the clipboard are "text" contents that have been cut/copied from one of the 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 "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
