detecting a paste command

[Grantson]

Hi guys 

I'm working on a script to partially automate data entry.

The process starts with the user copying and pasting a unique id from a form 

I want the script to kick in at that point and auto populate the form.

I'm just curious if there is a more elegant way of detecting the paste command than using _ispressed in a nested if 

while 1
If _IsPressed("11") Then
    If _IsPressed("56") Then
        MsgBox(0,"","paste")
        ExitLoop
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Thanks

Hi,

You can set a non blocking hotkey on the Ctrl+V using Yashied's HotKey UDF.

You are only checking for a 'control v' and there are at least three other methods to paste from the clipboard. It would probably be easier to check if what you want is where you want it.

Sadly the later is not an option 

The form is part of our asset database it is a very old version of the software and the windows within the app show up as controls but the buttons and fields within them are invisible

The script is for a small team of us replacing PCs to auto populate the information thats the same for each of the new pcs after they are rolled out so as long as the script will consistently trap ctrl-v im happy to warn them to hit ctrl-v rather than right click > paste
