    Question Highlight, Copy, Re-Paste

    What I want to do SYSTEM WIDE is:

    After the user does Highlight (Select) text, hotkey (CTRL+ALT+C):

    Then automatically fire in this sequence: copy to clipboard, manipulate text, re-paste to original location.

    I know how to do the hotkey part.

    Thanks

    I think there is an API named GetWindowText (I'm not sure about the name) but I'm not sure what it does either ... Another guess would be the SendMessage API with the gettext constant if you can find the hwnd...

    SetClipboardData ....

    J4U - if you go over to allapi.net & download the API guide this tells you a load of 'em all with samples you can use.

    The left side of the app divides all of the api calls either by name or by group - one of these groups is "clipboard" which lists all the calls you'll need.

    The GetWindow function retrieves the handle of a window that has the specified relationship (Z order or owner) to the specified window.
