Might be a simple question

[Stefan22]

I need to make a script which copy's a selected area, for example I'm selecting the text "abcdef" then it has to copy it to the selected area by pressing the button F11 for example. Does anyone know how u might get this working?

Hello,

You could use this?

HotKeySet("{F11}", "_Copy")

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _Copy()
$FocusThing ;Something with any Focus command? (Cant test it now)
ClipPut($FocusThing)
EndFunc

$Focus

$Focus^ ERROR

I need a script that copy's for a example some text from notepad to a specified area / inputbox.

This might be any useful?

This is the 'box' that has to be filled with the copied text.

Did you copy that code one-on-one?

Looks that you didn't fill the $FocusThing variable with the selected text

Like

$FocusThing = "Selected text"

[TerarinKerowyn]

Do you want to select all | selectively choose | have the computer copy it all or what kinda copy are you trying for? Because with a focus is something to do with having the computer copy it all or selectively choose

I think the command you are truely looking for is: ControlSend

Look that up in the help file, try to fiddle with it and search the forum for any questions you might have.

This command sends text to a control (or 'selected area' if you wish)

[Stefan22]

Yes, I want to select some text, and when I'm pressing the button F11 for example is has to copy it to the ControlID I gave you in the summary. And the text is has to copy can be different all the time btw.

This won't work im afraid, hmm or is it possible to send different kinds of text with this command? Thought this was like ControlSend("123456789") so the text is always the same in the script, I want it to be different all the time.

We've pm'd some msg's and this came outta it as working:

(It works at least with 2 notepad window's. We did, however, had to use a portion of the original title because it seems that . and , and such can not be used as a title)

HotKeySet("{F11}", "copysel")

While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func copysel()
    $selected = ControlCommand("sourcetitle", "", "Edit1", "GetSelected", "")
    ;MsgBox(0, "", $selected)
    ControlCommand("targettitle", "", "Edit1", "EditPaste", $selected)
EndFunc

Exit
