Anyone here have a good way of sending like CTRL+C and CTRL+V
the VDS 5.x IDE?

It's seriously been ticking me off now at the unreliable results I've been
getting the way I've been doing it. Sometimes it copies the text,
sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I feel like a Nut, sometimes I don't!

I activate the ide, wait until it's the active window, send the keys to copy,
then wait a little more, then check the clipboard and grab the contents of
it (if it freaking copied at all!), then I run the text through what I'm doing
with it, activate the ide again, wait a little, then send the paste.

Anyone have a good reliable way to do this that works 100%??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Garrett

hi garrett,

i am wondering whether there isn't something wrong with vds 5.01 as i also get unreliable behaviour from it with the mouseover feature of bitmaps...sometimes the mouseover works and sometimes it doesn't

that's 2 unreliable things going on...makes me wonder what is going on...

Hi Garrett
I had this problem working with my "tray helper Utility" to launch Win 32 Programmers reference and API constants reference based on the user selected API in the IDE.
Some how on XP (and Win ME ?) Left ctrl key + key combinations don't work - and that too with some keyboards (Looks Insane but I have confirned that).
VDS uses general/Left Ctrl for "Window Send".

So you can directly use keybd_event API and Use Rt ctrl+ C - (I gave U an example using this API for Num lock a day back.)
I think that should solve the problem.
