I don't think his problem is getting content INTO the clipboard from two
textboxes. I think he's saying his Dymo software lets him drop two items
of data OUT of the clipboard into two separate textboxes with one paste.
In VFP to do this, I think he'd need to create some type of invisible
overlay on top of the receiving textboxes that would intercept the paste,
break up the text string, and put the two pieces into the two textboxes.
Not sure how the textboxes could then receive ordinary focus and let the
user type into them but there's probably a trick to accomplish that too.
Or just provide a single paste "target" image between the two receiving
textboxes that intercepts the paste and does the work.
Actually, even better:
Code in the KeyPress() event method of both receiving textboxes that calls
form code to intercept CTRL+V, code in the ProgrammaticChange() event
methods to intercept the results of a mouse Paste (not sure one even occurs
natively in a textbox but we could fake that too...anyway...)
... the idea is to intercept and collect what gets pasted, parse it, and
drop it into the two textboxes. In the target textbox, you'd overwrite what
the default code put into the .Value property with the appropriate parsed
portion; in the other textbox you'd drop the rest. This would probably go
so fast you wouldn't even see a flash.
I've done similar gymastics because I couldn't figure out how to make the
VFP drag-drop stuff work. (It never seemed to work the way the Help says it
should--or maybe the Help is just so obtuse on the topic that I wasn't able
to read the secret signs and symbols and get it working.) This could be a
fun little project if I had the time. It would probably take me half a day
to work it out.
