Copy/Paste VB

1 New Member
Good Afternoon,

I am trying to create a macro that will copy and paste from the 3270 IBM Reflection program to either Microsoft Access database or Microsoft Excel. I already understand the mapping, i.e. column and rows, how to highlight what I want. But I don’t understand how to take that information via macros and paste it into the Access or Excel spreadsheet. I have already learned how to paste from Access to 3270 to run the repetitive reports that I used to have to do manually. Now I would like to use the macros to pull the information that I pull repetitively. Can anyone help please? Give me a string to copy anything, even a letter from 3270 IBM Reflection or anything, with that I can figure out how to rewrite the information to move all the data I need from the one program to Access or Excel. If no one knows how to do this, can someone please direct me to where I could find an answer on this?

Thank you very much
Shayne

I would start by searching the manual for "copy".

It may look something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Sub ClipboardDemo()
  2. '
  3. ' ClipboardDemo Macro
  4. ' Macro created <today's date> by <your name>
  5. '
  6. ' Copy screen text to the Clipboard
  7. '
  8. Dim displayText As String
  9. displayText = Session.GetDisplayText(1, 1, 80)
  10. Session.SetClipboardText (displayText)
  11. MsgBox "Screen text has been copied to the Clipboard."
  12. End Sub

This may or may not be of some help to you:

I was checking out the 101 C# Samples, specifically Windows Forms - Use the Clipboard. I took a look at the code for a while, and I understand what the program is doing with the cut, copy, pasting via the file menu events using the clipboard. However, what I don't get is how is the program able to produce a context menu in the textbox area. When right clicking, the context pops up and allows to cut/copy/paste/delete, etc.. But the thing is, I...

This may not be the right forum, but it's a problem I chiefly come across when trying to post here. When I do a copy/paste from VS, the text always looks really weird (and even if I'm in an editor that's supposed to be doing plain text, it looks like it's in a different font -- and of course you can't change the font in a plain text editor.) Then when it gets converted to actual plain text, there is a blank line stuck in between every...

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...

And to ensure the contents of the clipboard are "text" contents that have been cut/copied from one of the textboxes on the form. ...
