Clipboard

Most programs allow you to copy the selected the Text. for this reason, you should use SelText instead.

Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText

You should clear the Clipboard first.

Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText

The clipbaord is already cleared once you add something so really don't need to clear it.

Megatron, Crazy VIII said he wanted to copy a textbox to the clipboard, not the selected text.

Using SelText will copy the seleted text (if any), however, if no text is selected, then this will copy the whole text.

If Text1.SelText = "" Then
     Clipboard.SetText Text1
Else
    Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText
End If

I know that. But he wants the whole textbox copied.

Have it your way.

Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
Clipboard.SetText Text1.SelText

My way's shorter though.

But almost twice as slow.

Nope, not really! You don't actually have to clear the clipboard when you're using text, but try to put a picture on the clipboard without clearing it first!
That is why I always recommend clearing the Clipboard object before putting anything in it.
