| | Clipboard Application - Pasting to IE Hi, I'm writing a custom clipboard application in VB .NET 2008 similar to Ditto (http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/). I have tried targeting .NET Frameworks 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 with the same results. I have also tried targeting x86 and x64 CPUs. I am developing on Windows Vista SP 1 x64. My problem is that when pasting to IE forms, nothing is pasted! It pastes to all other tested applications as expected. Basically, I set the text to the clipboard and use SendKeys.Send("^V") to send Control-V to foreground window. I am using Interop with user32.dll's SetForegroundWindow (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr) As Long function. When I use SendKeys.Send() and pass the actual text as oppoesed to Control-V, IE accepts the input as received BUT all CR's in text are sent as {ENTER} and Posts the form. This causes undesirable results in the form of a comment with the entire paste building at each CR. I have been testing with a Comment field. ------------------------------------------------- ie, trying to paste "Hello, World" results in two comments; 1st comment: Hello, 2nd comment: Hello, World Suggestions for resolving either of these issues is greatly appreciated. Code below; 'Dim wsh As New WshShell ' Set last active window to foreground Form1.SetForegroundWindow(awh) ' send clipped item to application in foreground Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.StringFormat, lvClipped.SelectedItems(0).Text) 'Sleeping as a workaround does not fix IE paste to form 'Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(4000) ' Using Windows Shell doesn't help IE paste to form 'wsh.SendKeys("^V") ' dispose of my COM object 'wsh = Nothing SendKeys.SendWait("^V") ' Flushing doesn't help IE send to form 'SendKeys.Flush() |
