Putting to ClipBoard, without ClipPut()

[litlmike 1]

I ran into a problem today and I am looking for a work-around. It seems that the issue is the '^c' (Copy) command is not being executed correctly. It has worked for the last 3 months, but now its giving me issues.

Is there a way to 'Copy' what is highlighted, to the clipboard, without using ClipPut or '^c' (Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}"))?

sleep (2000)
$o_SearchForm = _IEFormGetObjByIndex ($o_IE, 0)
$o_Keywords = _IEFormElementGetObjByIndex ($o_SearchForm, "description" & $var)
_IEAction($o_Keywords,"focus")
Sleep (2000)
_IEAction($o_Keywords,"selectall")
Sleep (2000)
Send("{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}")
$description_text = ClipGet ()
ToolTip ($description_text)
Sleep (1000)
ToolTip ("")

Thanks in Advance.

Try sending CTRL + INSERT , it works for most programs.

I can try that, but my gut tells me that the issue is with sending a command like that period, whether it is CTRL + C or CTRL + INSERT.

Is there Copy_What_Is_Highlighted () type of command?

Is the answer, 'no'?

If you work with the IE object there are many solutions in the WSH-groups.

Perhaps

.document.execcommand "Copy"

works for you.
