You can do it using the Windows API, Sendmessage, to copy the text and send it to the other program directly, without clipboard being involved at all...
You use SendMessage with DLCall. You can goto microsoft library at msdn.microsoft.com and search for SendMessage function to get a little familiar with it before I map it out for you. We can do this on list for the benefit of others. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Goldberg" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 10:11 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Send character to screen :I have a form that has a button and a memo field. : : What I need to do is copy the text to the clipboard and press control-z to : for the other program that is running to do it's thing. : : I found property to copy the text to the clipboard but need to find a way to : have Rbase press control-z for me. : : Dan : : -----Original Message----- : From: Mike Byerley : Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 7:00 AM : To: RBASE-L Mailing List : Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Send character to screen : : In VB there is SendKey..
