Looking for a way, to run, the equivalent of "Ctrl+C" using my own VB program. Essentially the reason I am doing this is because the program I am trying to write is a converter, and the plan is to have it use "Ctrl+F" instead of "Ctrl+C". It would copy whatever is highlighted, check if it is a number if it is convert it to another number and paste it back to where it was copied from.

I will figure the rest out later, for now I am just looking for a way to copy selected text using a pre-specified shortcut key combination such as "Ctrl+F" from any window in any program. Heck it can even store the copied text in the regular clipboard, I just don't want to use Ctrl+C to do the copying.

If I need to explain better please say so, and as always any help, suggestions ideas, links etc is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
