sackjarrow Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi! I need to copy a word from an e-mail in Outlook 2010 and paste it into a textbox/field in another program. Problem: The program I'm trying to copy the information into doesn't allow information to be pasted (ctrl+v), only manually entered. My (tidious) idea for a solution: ;so first I copy the first letter of the word in the e-mail that i need and then I run something like this below If clipget() = "a" then send("{ctrldown}v{ctrlup} elseif clipget()= "b" then send("{ctrldown}v{ctrlup} elseif clipget()= "c" then send("{ctrldown}v{ctrlup} elseif clipget()="d" then send("{ctrldown}v{ctrlup} and basically continue with every letter in the alphabet until I've written the whole word. This can't possibly be the best solution for this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution FireFox Posted August 5, 2013 Solution Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi,You may be able to retrieve the e-mail using the Outlook UDF.Concerning the destination app, there must be a more reliable way to paste the data.Have you tried with the Control* functions? Especially the ControlSetText one?Br, FireFox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackjarrow Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wow cudos for fast reply, I was actually just about to delete this thread since things just worked themselves out. Turns out it worked by sending "clipget()" rather than just sending "ctrl+v". I will definitely check out the Outlook UDF anyway! Thanks and have a nice one!
