Well i'm trying to make a macro that will "Ctrl+C" some text and will "Ctrl+V" it somewhere else.

I've added a GuiCtrlCreateEdit, so I will be able to put the text there.

The problem is, that even when i select the text, it wont ctrl+c it.

can anyone comeup with an idea?

Well this is my code so far

GUICreate("GUI")

GUICtrlCreateEdit("write a sentence ",0,0)

$ButtonOk=GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok",200,0,50,50)

guisetstate()

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

if $msg = $ButtonOk Then

Send("{LCTRL down}")

Send("{c}")

Send("{LCTRL up}")

EndIf

in that part i wanted it to ctrl+c but it wouldnt =x

Thats not your whole code right? You need a While/Wend loop with a gui else the script won't do anything. Instead of your send commands use Send("^c") the ^ is ctrl.

Send("^c") ; sends Ctrl+C

nah thats not my whole script

@JdeB thanks ill try it

[Zedna 302]

Before Send("^c") you must use WinActivate() to your desired window because Send() send keystrokes to active window.

In your script your GUI will be active after click on your button so Send() will send it to your window!!

Im having a hard time solving this code (my first script in autoit >.>)

could anyone try and make an example for me? like a script that copy and paste it to another place?

thanks in advance.

From where are you getting (i.e., copying) the text?
