    Resolved [RESOLVED] Copy something before open VB

    Why is whatever I copy before opening VB gone when it's ready to be pasted into my project?

    are you using MZTools? That clears the clipboard I've noticed.

    Re: Copy something before open VB

    i think excel and word do too
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    they don't for me, and I've never known them too - it would be a pretty silly thing for any text-editor to do.

    Re: Copy something before open VB

    What it is is that when you have an AddIn loading at the start of VB, any Office app, etc the AddIn may have an icon on the toolbar button or menu item. In order for the image to be placed the code will use the clipboard to transfer the image cross processes. This will clear the clipboard.

    To test it out simply dont load any addins and place a picturebox on a form and paste whats on your clipboard. This should be the last item placed on it from any possible addins.
