Visual Basic :: Copy-paste Files

How Can You Copy And Paste Files?
filburt: I thought you post was pretty cool. I was under the impression that Name was only used to Rename stuff. Anyway, I tried it, with some interesting results.
VB Code:
'this worked fineName "c: ext.txt" As "c:asp ext.txt"'this gave me a file not found errorName "c: ext.txt" As "c:asputil ext.txt"
It seems if the destination is more than one folder deep, this has major heartburn. ?

Hi, I would like some help on a task for my program.

but I can't figure out how to copy paste them so than the original stays at it's place.
Thankx for the help.

Copy And Paste A List Of Files
I'm loading a list of files and tryin to copy selected, un-selected, or all files from the list to a new subdirectory. cant get it to work.. here is what I've got so far... using listbox style=checkbox

Code:
Private Sub cmdNameNew_Click()

Dim fso
Dim strFile As String
Dim NewFileDir As String
Dim FileDir As String
Dim Create As String

Create = txtNameNew.Text
FileDir = "C:Documents and SettingsOwnerMy DocumentsBrainDeadMapCollection"
NewFileDir = "C:Documents and SettingsOwnerMy DocumentsBrainDead"

MkDir NewFileDir & Create

For i = frmMain.lstNew.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If frmMain.lstNew.Selected(i) = True Then
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(FileDir & frmMain.lstMaps.Selected(i) & ".bms") Then
FileCopy FileDir & frmMain.lstNew.List(i), NewFileDir & Create
MsgBox "Map List Created", vbInformation, "Notice"
Else
MsgBox "The file you are trying to copy does not exist.", vbCritical, "Error"
End If

End If

Next i

If txtNameNew.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "You Have Not Named Your List Yet", vbCritical, "Error"
End If

End Sub

Copy-paste New Application Files
I make changes on my program very often so after I change something in application I have to go from PC to PC and copy paste new .exe file or .dll

I was thinking on this way but I do not know how I can make it;

Can I make on every PC that shortcut of my application actually always call one VB Script or .exe. Script will do this; go to one location on the server and if find any file on that location copy them and paste locally on PC.

In this case I do not need to walk around and copy-paste files every time I make any change in application.

Does anybody have idea or example of vb script, or vb code how I can make it.

Thanks,

Ilimax

Copy, Cut And Paste Wrecks Files
Hi,

I have an integral editor in my application and having trouble with the copy, cut and paste routine. I suspect the problem occurs when the file is opened for edit but I do not know that to be fact. Below I have shown the code that I suspect is causing the problem and below that is a sample of the code showing the problem.

Open txt_FileName For Input As iFile

Move/copy/paste Files From Explorer To My App
Hi! Can anyone help me with a file move/copy/paste problem I encountered while trying to get my application to paste files copied or cut in explorer? My problem is that I cannot distinguish between cut and copy. When using the clipboard, all I get is the full file name, but that is not enough for me to figure out if my app should copy or move the file. I also looked at the SHFileOperation function, but I encountered the same problem - how to distinguish if the file was copied or cut. I have my application working with copying the files, although a cut command might have been given in explorer. I will greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me how can I make the distinction between cut and copy (and for that matter, how does explorer distinguish between the two).

Thanks,

Kalin

Implementing Copy/paste Or Drag/drop For FILES
Well i wanna create an app that lets me copy a bunch of files like explorer does it, but without more then one copy at a time. So if u ask it to copy something when he's already copying, he doesn't do it, he waits that the previous transfer is finished.

It would be like norton commander that we had in dos, 2 list of files, and we can drag/drop and cut/copy/paste from one place to the other.

If anybody knows how to do that (cut/copy/paste or drag/drop) from one list to the other, I would be gratefull for the info

By the way, if this app exist already, i would be glad to download it instead of developping it hehehehe

Copy, Cut And Paste Wrecks Files / Attention Metallisoft
Hi,

Same song second verse. Your suggestions made no difference. Just so you won't trip over the absence og it I have included the "iFile = FreeFile". The copy / cut sequence is so cut and dried that I did not include them in the example. This is a real PITA because it forces the machine into a shut down when it encounters any one of three file errors.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

Below I have shown the code that I suspect is causing the problem and below that is a sample of the code showing the problem.

Let's see if we can kill a couple ducks with one shot here.

I need to know how to kill keyboard key repeats so that the keypress simply turns on a command and does not accummulate them so that when you release the key the accummulated commands do continue on while you're waiting for KeyUp event to issue the cancel command order.

Copy Paste / Copy To Cilp Board..
Is it possible to Copy and paste to a Picture Box?
---OR---
Copy from a picture box to Clipboard. Or even save as a pcx or jpg/gif file?...

Thanks...

Copy And Paste
I am trying to copy a gif from windows explorer and pasting it into VBs Image Control and can't get it to paste. This is what I am trying.

Private Sub mnuMemPaste_Click()
Set frmMembers.Image1 = Clipboard.GetData
frmMembers.Image1.Refresh
End Sub

and nothing is getting pasted
Image1 Control:
Drag Mode = Automatic
OLEDrag mode = Automatic
OLEDrop mode = Automatic

The user right clicks on the image control then a context menu popup with a choice copy or paste. Click the paste command sends you frmmain.mnumempaste.

Copy/Paste
I'm not sure if this is a VBA issue, but I thought I would give it try and see if anyone has run into the same issue.

We upgraded to Word 2000 this past June (we don't like to be trend setters) from Word95. Some of the users have problems going back and forth between documents when trying to copy and paste - their machines lock up.

Some of the lock-ups occur when the user is toggling between documents when they use the drop down Window, some are having the problem when they toggle between documents by clicking on the documents located on the bottom of their toolbar, and others have the problem when using Ctrl F6. It's not a universal problem.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Copy/Paste
Unfortunately Copy/Paste in my workbook needs to be altered. When a user copies data, I need to validate that data and perform certian functions.

Originally I tried to just use "If cutCopyMode = 1 then..." but that doesn't seem to work the way I need it. Also, I would need to trap the enter key event(s) if the user was 'cuting' data to also perform these functions.

What I would like to know is if anyone else has had to replace / alter excel's cut/copy/paste logic and if there is anything I should be worried about.

I started writing procedures to capture 'OnKey' events as well as the menu driven events. But as I mentioned earlier, I need to also capture the enter key(s) event. If this is the only way to go, is there anything that should be going on if the user hit's the enter key(s) besides changing the offset?

An Excel-document with 2 sheets, the first one is filled out like this:

Copy And Paste
Hello! I hope this hasn't been disscussed before...if it has just send me the link and delete this post. (i haven't found such a thread tho')

I wanna' develop a VB application which has to take some information from a web page. I want this to be done by selecting the whole page (Ctrl+A) in the users browser then paste it into the program...when he pastes the page only certain areas of the text in the page need to be pasted into the available text boxes. (not necessarily text boxes...) I want these text areas to be selected automatically by the application without the user having to manually enter each information into each of the text boxes.

Got any ideea how to do this?

For example let's say the following is the text from the web page:

>>Phone Number: 40334421
>>Name: Will Smith
>>Comments: Actor

When I paste the whole text into the VB application i want only 40334421 to be pasted into the txtPhnNo textbox, the Will Smith pasted into the txtName textbox and Actor pasted into the txtCmnt text box.
I hope you undesrtand where I'm going with this.

Thanks

I have created a simple program in visual basic that checks data entered to make sure its in a certain format. Is is possible for this program to be modified so that it can copy the data entered and paste it in anouther program for example notepad?

Copy And Paste
Hello,
I am trying to implement the Copy and Paste functions. I got "the selecting the text" part done but I am having trouble pasting the text. That is, my question is how do we refer to the position the mouse is at. And since I am trying to do the paste on a text box how do I implement this ?

For example, I can't do something like Text1.Text = Text1.Text + Text1.SelText.

Any advice?

Vba Copy And Paste
I am selecting a range out of worksheet and copying it to another. the worksheet is saved with protection after the macro runs the workbook closes itself and when I reopen it the sheet is no longer protected. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it? I don't want to save the sheet with the macro because I do not want to save the new data on the sheet.

Copy/Paste Huh?
let say you have a macro that copys and paste stuff in a huge worksheet. takes 5 min to run.

while the macro is working you go on the web and ctrl-c an article from bbc.com

when i press ctrl-v i get text from my worksheet instead of the article. While my excel sheet has my bbc article on it. WTH!

Copy And Paste
I want to prevent the user from copy and paste how do i do that using vb?

Copy And Paste
Hey everyone,
simple question. How do you make a listbox capable of Ctrl+C (copy)?
Also, along the same lines, how do you make it Ctrl+X (cut) and Ctrl+V (paste)

And one other thing. Is it possible to have a code/script/macro that can automatically take info from my program and enter it in to a web-site, say like E-bay. I'm trying to simplify some of my web browsing by having a program automatically enter username/password. Like I have a selection choice in my program for "Hotmail". When selected, I need it to take the settings from the "Hotmail" area and automatically prefill it into the Hotmail website for me. Is that even possible?

Thanks all!

how do i acomplish this?

Cut Copy Paste - Please...
I am still not quite sure of, nor do I understand the code for 'cut, copy, paste, and undo'. I have had lots of help from people, and lots of different code, but I still fail to get it to work.

I have menu items
mnuCopy
mnuCut
mnuPaste
mnuUndo
All I really want them to do is cut, copy, paste, and undo. Is there some way that I can call "ctrl + X" when user clicks mnuCut?

I know this code is probably very simple, and I am making it difficult for myself, but is there anyone who can show me how to do this? It would be great.

Thanks.
