Clipboard and GUI text box

[IvanCodin]

I am trying to use text in the clipboard and append it to the end of a GUI txt box.

As an example the text box contains "This is the text box" and the clipboard contains the text "This is the clipboard". When I click $Button01 the GUI text box will be updated. The clipboard will be appended to the GUI window. I have all of this working but I canot figure out how to write the text backinto the GUI. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is a test script I wrote that shows what I am trying to do:

CODE

#include <IE.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>

#include <Misc.au3>

#include <Process.au3>

Opt('GUIOnEventMode',True)

HotKeySet("^x", "_Bye")

$my_version = "0.91.1"

Global $Width = ('499')

Global $Height = ('447')

$cCommand1 = ""

; => Main Form

$hGUI1 = GUICreate("Tools", $Width, $Height, 270, 98)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, '_Exit', $hGUI1)

; =>Context Menu MainFrom

$Context_Menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()

$Item_1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About", $Context_Menu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Item_1, "_About")

$Item_2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $Context_Menu)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Item_2, "_Exit")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("<====== My Notes =====>", 115, 10)

; =>MainForm buttons

$Button01 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Frm Clp", 392, 40, 89, 23, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button01, "FrmClip1")

$cCommand1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 40, 365, 397)

$Button0 = GUICtrlCreateButton("CP My Notes", 392, 75, 89, 23, 0)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button0,"MyClip1")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI1)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $Item_2 Or $msg = -3 Or $msg = -1 Then

ExitLoop

EndIf

Sleep(20) ; Idle around

WEnd

Func MyClip1()

ClipPut("") ; clear to prevent duplicate entries

ClipPut(GUICtrlRead($cCommand1) & @CRLF)

If (@error == 1) Then

MsgBox(0, "", "Unable to copy to the ClipBoard.")

EndIf

;EndSelect

Sleep(2000)

EndFunc ; => Myclip1

Func FrmClip1()

$bak = ClipGet()

$bak1 = GUICtrlRead($Ccommand1)

MsgBox(0, "notes contains:", $bak1, 3)

MsgBox(0, "Clipboard contains:", $bak, 3)

ClipPut($bak1 & @CRLF & $bak)

MsgBox(0, "Clipboard contains:", ClipGet())

;GUICtrlCreateEdit ($Ccommand1 = $bak & @CRLF & $bak1)

; The text existing in the $Ccommand1 will be appended with the clipboard text and displayed GUI window.

EndFunc ;=> FrmClip1

Func _About()

MsgBox(0, "About", "Text Tool Box " & $my_version, 4)

EndFunc ;==>_About

Func _Bye()

;SoundPlay(@WindowsDir & "\media\tada.wav",1)

MsgBox(0, "Bye", "Exiting program", 4)

_Exit()

EndFunc ;==>_Bye

Func _Exit()

GUIDelete($hGUI1)

Exit

EndFunc ;==>_Exit

wow, I got nice visual pattern

This is your code

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <Process.au3>
#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
Opt('GUIOnEventMode',True)
HotKeySet("^x", "_Bye")
$my_version = "0.91.1"
Global $Width = ('499')
Global $Height = ('447')

$cCommand1 = ""
; => Main Form
$hGUI1 = GUICreate("Tools", $Width, $Height, 270, 98)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, '_Exit', $hGUI1)
; =>Context Menu MainFrom
$Context_Menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()
$Item_1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About", $Context_Menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Item_1, "_About")
$Item_2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $Context_Menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Item_2, "_Exit")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("<====== My Notes =====>", 115, 10)
; =>MainForm buttons
$Button01 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Frm Clp", 392, 40, 89, 23, 0)
