Hi,
to set text to the clipboard
Clipboard.SetDataObject(TextBox1.Text)
to get text from the clipboard
TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetDataObject()

The help file really is a wonderful resource - try it, you'll like it

thanks i found out what's the problem..

the problem with (Paste from Clipboard) option

text1.Text = Clipboard.GetDataObject()

will return the data as (Object) not (Text or String)

so the code must be like this:

Text1.Text = Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetData(System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats.Text, True)

so we convert the clipboard to string or text
