Paste Text into TextBox

[ADO DOT NET]

Hi,

When I want to paste a text into a text box I use this code:

Clipboard.SetText("My Text")
SubjectTextBox.Paste()

It has a problem: it removes the previous clipboard contents, is there a way to paste a specific text into text box without working with clipboard?

Thanks.

Is there a requirement to use the paste functionality at all? If so copying stuff to the clipboard removes the existing contents - this is how it is designed to work.

 

Could you not just assign the value directly to the text property?

You mean something like:

Dim SavedText As String = "My Text"
SubjectTextBox.Text += SavedText

Nope!

This won't work because I want to to be exactly pasted at the location of cursor, and if some text is marked be replaced, the same behavior as paste function.

I was thinking if it has a paste option that allow user to assign some text to be pasted instead of pasting from clipboard!

TextBox1.SelectedText = "My Text"
