add to clipboard

[Talk2Tom11]

I was wondering if anyone know the code for this problem.

I was to click a button and have the text from within txtbox1 'copied' to the clipboard.

I pretty much want the button to act as a ctrl+c.

if anyone can help me that would be great.

If you are using VS 2005 ...

It's quite simple in Visual Studio 2005:

My.Computer.Clipboard.SetText(TextBox1.Text)

But if you're using an older version this won't work.

Here's a link to a C# example

Keep in mind that the My keyword is exclusive to VB 2005, not VS 2005

When i use my code...

Clipboard.SetDataObject(textBox1.text)

it deletes it from the clipboard once the form closes... i want it to stay until i copy something else.

Clipboard.SetDataObject(textBox1.text, True)
