Create Simple Button to Copy Text to Clipboard NOT using JavaScript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by techuser 110

I am trying to create a simple button that will copy a certain set of text to the clipboard so that it can be pasted later into a note field in the Microsoft Dynamics SL 7.0 application.

I have tried several methods...

Private Sub btnClipboardNote_Click()

'Dim strNote As String
'strNote = "some string data"
'Clipboard.Settext strNote
       
Dim mytext As String
mytext = "Hello, world."
'My.Computer.Clipboard.Settext mytext
Window.ClipboardData.setData mytext
 
End Sub

    This code works.  Need to add a reference to Microsoft Forms Library which can be found in C:\Windows\System32. Need to Hit Browse and select FM20.dll in the System32 directory...

    Dim strNote As String

    Dim MyClipboard As DataObject

    Set MyClipboard = New DataObject

    strNote = "some string data"

    MyClipboard.SetText strNote

    MyClipboard.PutInClipboard
