Hello gentlemen,
I have a child form which displays a paragraph. I will have a "Copy" button on the child form so that when I select a string in the paragraph with the mouse and click on the copy button; it will copy my selected string to the windows clipboard. After that, I want to paste that string to a text field on the parent form. I will have a "Paste" button on the parent form so that when I click it, it will paste the selected text into the parent form's text field.
Please show me how to do this. I read the msdn examples but they only show us how with using an external text file. I cannot apply it to my case.
Note: I know how to do "copy/paste" with using the shortcut keys but the users may not know how to do it this way. I want to make it easy for them.
Please advise,
Thanks
