in NAV Three Tier
Hi mibuso.com

In NAV 2009 R2 I used the Automation routine 'CSIDEClipboard'.Text to copy Text out of NAV to the Clipboard. This works great but now want to do the same thing in NAV 2018 - how is this possible please?

    With a dotNet Variable.
    Clipboard DotNet System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

    Clipboard.SetText('Text to Clipboard');

    Hi Big_D

    Set the RunOnClient property of the dotnet variable as Yes.

    Wahey SigGunn

    That works a treat - you're a star :) !

    See you can even read the Clipboard too <3!
    CopyAddrTest()
Clipboard.Clear;
Clipboard.SetText ('Testing Clipboard for NAV2018 Upgrade'); //Copy text to Clipboard
IF Clipboard.ContainsText then //Does Clipboard have text - even reads clipboard generally!
  MESSAGE ('(%1)', Clipboard.GetText); //Display Clipboard

    Keep up the good work!

    Hi SanderDk and sb_ for the solution :) !

    Not done any dotnet stuff to date in NAV - other than call Clipboard.SetText('Text to Clipboard'); - do I need to do anything else?
