I would like to pull shipping information from an invoice to the clipboard so it can be copied to a label.

Example have a button that the user an push to capture the information, then place it in a text file the clipboard the user can use to copy/paste from.

I know VBA can be used with MyClipboard as a DataObject. Does Dexterity have anything similar that can be used?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sheila

You can add carriage return using char(13) or carriage return, line feed char(13) + char(10).

Thanks David, that worked great. Do you know if there is way to insert a carriage return using Dexterity? If I am copying information into a text box and want a carraige return between the fields I am placing in there.

Hi Sheila

The only thing I can think of is to display the data in a text field on a window, then select it and copy it.

Field_SetSelection('Text Field', 1, length('Text Field'));

Menu_Invoke(MENU_ACTION_COPY);

I do see some Dexterity object functions suchas DexObject_addMethod(), DexObect_Create(). Would this be used and I could pass the shipping field from GP as properties?
