Does anyone have any ideas? thanksIf you want something like copy/paste you can use ClipBoard functions. Read more in help file. When the words fail... music speaks.

Tapeworm Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 no, don't want it to go through the clipboard. I want to be able to copy something without overwriting the stuff in the clipboard. I want to be able to select some text (for example this sentence) with my mouse, and then save it to a string.

Tapeworm Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 _GUICtrlEdit_GetSel() does not do what I want it to. I want to be able to select any text, in any situation just like with ctrl+c, and convert it to a string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCreatoR Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 @SmOke_NVery good example, thanks!Just one thing... instead of using Send("^c") it is better to use Send("^{Insert}"), because the current method will fail if i change the default language layot to some other language than English.

MrCreatoR Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 And also there is a bug with Exit, why the script not exit? the IsDeclared("h_mouse_mod") should be IsDeclared("$h_mouse_mod"), but it's still strange, it seems that script can not exit while the callback is not free...
