Vba copying text clipboard how to#
Another example in section three, for a visible user form, shows how to track the active text box prior to copy. An example of the hidden user form method is given in section four.It will be found best, in general,to set the form's ShowModal property to False this allows for convenient code tracing and avoids many other confusions. The text box must have its Multiline property set to true for most useful text transfers. Then, the invisible user form's controls can still then be coded as normal. The form with a text box, is loaded but never displayed. When no user form is to be displayed, a hidden form can be used.These methods work well and are well tested. When user forms are to be displayed, then the copy and paste methods of the text box can be used.
An example of the DataObject method is given in section two of this page.In the unlikely event of problems with these procedures, either of the next two methods would suffice. Other methods avoid these restrictions.The DataObject method has recently been adopted for the VBA Indenter module, in this same series. All of the procedures on this page are tested and work well in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for Excel 2010. See DataObject Bugs Forum for details of the bugs and one suggested fix. Its main restriction is that the contents of the clipboard will be lost when the launching application is closed generally this is not a problem when running Excel modules, but should be borne in mind.This is perhaps the simplest implementation.There are three main ways to pass text to and from the clipboard with VBA code.
