copy to clipboard

[Joel Allen]

Hello,

I want to programatically copy text from one of my task fields and send it
to the
clipboard.

Can you someone point me in the right direction or give me some simple
sample code?

Thank you,
Joel

Joel, please add a reference onto the "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Library" to your
project. You can use that library´s DataObject object; call the Clear method
first and then use SetText to write your text into the clipboard.

Thanks. I tried this and it's not working. Am I close? I'm tryin to get
the content of TestField into the clipboard.

Dim MyDataObj As New DataObject
MyDataObj = Item.UserProperties("TestField")
MyDataObj.SetText

Thanks for your help,
Joel

Thank you.

I get an error though on this line:

Dim MyDataObj As New DataObject

It says "expected end of statement". I have added the "Microsoft Forms 2.0
Library" to my references too.

Thanks for your help,
Joel

Are you running VBScript instead of VBA?

 

[Joel Allen]

I am in the Script Editor of my custom task form. Does that help?

Thanks,
Joel

That depends on the point of view It helps me but as I´m not familiar
with VBScript I´m not sure whether or not I can help you.

Please try to change the declaration from

to
Dim MyDataObj
