Well bummer.
After further testing it seems that it doesn't acually get copied to the 'clipboard'. Cause when I do the [ $clip.Copy('Hello, world') ] and then try and 'Ctrl+V' into another app it don't work.

Yea that would help wouldn't it...
I have a scipt that pulls a PC name out of an INI file and displays it in a MessageBox(). There is no way to select the text in the MessageBox. I wanted to see if there is a way to push it to the clipboard too so all you have to do is 'Ctrl+V' wherever you need.
Does that make sence. Maybe there is a different route I need to take?
I guess I could unhide the cmd window and copy paste from there, but I don't like it up when it doesn't show anything to begin with.

{I may just make a form to open the app I need and push a variable to it from within the script.}

code:
$RETRY=MessageBox('The most recent logged on PC for:'+@CRLF+@CRLF+ '[ '+Ucase($USER)+' ] = [ '+Ucase($COMPUTER)+' ]'+@CRLF+@CRLF+ 'Do you want to look for another?', 'PCName from UserName',68)

Am I missing something? Why would you need to select the text in the MessageBox()? I mean, that your KiX script had to put it there, so then KiX would already have the message.

I think the problem is more about how to put some text (e.g. the computer name) into the clipboard so that you can then paste it into something else. And yes, you cannot just select text inside the messagebox to do this. That's why you need some other way.

I you have to register a DLL, might I also offer the AutoItX component? It has clipboard put and get methods and of course offers a lot of functionality in controlling windows.
