Clipboard content not available
Hi,

I have an application that would copy the contents from an IE's word component, open a word document and paste the copied contents into that opened document. The following is part of the code

vb Code:
Original - vb Code 
  1.  
  2. Dim oWord As Object
  3. Dim oDoc As Object
  4.  
  5.     Clipboard.Clear
  6.     AppActivate "C:\WINDOWS\test.htm - Microsoft Internet Explorer", True
  7.     SendKeys "^a", True
  8.     SendKeys "^c", True
  9.     
  10.     If Trim(Clipboard.GetText) = "" Then
  11.         MsgBox "Content was not copied onto clipboard.Please set the focus onto the test html page and try again", vbOKOnly, "Copy contents"
  12.         Exit Sub
  13.     End If
  14.  
  15.     MsgBox Clipboard.GetText
  16.     
  17.     Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
  18.     Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add
  19.     
  20.     MsgBox Clipboard.GetText
  21.     
  22.     oWord.Selection.Paste
  23.     oWord.Visible = True
  24.     
  25.     MsgBox Clipboard.GetText
  26.     'oDoc.Activate
  27.     oDoc.SaveAs FileName:="C:\test.doc"
  28.     oDoc.Close
  29.     
  30.     Set oWord = Nothing
  31.     Set oDoc = Nothing
  32.  


When I am running this application, after the contents are copied to the clipboard, I am getting the text from clipboard in the alert. After the word object is invoked to open a new word document, the clipboard content is not present.

This works in few systems I don't come across this error. Is there any Dll that needs to be registered in the systems for the content to be available?

If it helps, in XP Pro/Office 2003 I've noticed opening some applications manually seems to empty the clipboard. Maybe the problem is in word, not your code, but I'm only guessing.

Agree, maybe you can open word before copying the data to clipboard but IMHO could be better

Being WebB a Web browser

Code:
WebB.Navigate2 "file://" & C:\WINDOWS\test.htm"
    Do
      DoEvents
    Loop Until Not (WebB.Busy)
    If InStr(1, "The Page cannot be displayed",     If InStr(1, "The Page cannot be displayed", WebB.Document.body.innerHTML, vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then TXT = ""
    If TXT <> "" Then TXT_OUT = WebB.Document.body.innerHTML

I tried opening word before copying the contents after that. That also did not work...

Oops. I am sorry. I tried creating the word object first and then did the copy to clipboard. It worked.
