Copy output to clipboard?

[Rick Nelson]

I was wondering if it were possible to place the output variable onto
the Windows clipboard. It seems like it would be possible. I know the
user can just highlight and Ctrl+C, but we're using a touch screen and
selecting text isn't as easy as it should be.

Thanks you.

Rick

Check out the ftp archives ftp://ftp.pica.army.mil/pub/labview there is a
vi for reading and writing to the clipboard. I have a copy on my computer
if you can't find it there, just email me at jeffbinslo@netzero.net

There's also an Invoke Node method for the LabVIEW Application class called Clipboard >> Read from Clipboard and Clipboard >> Write to Clipboard. Both accomplish the same thing, are easier to use, and are platform independent! Hope this helps!

Note that this is LabVIEW 8 only though.

Unfortunately I'm always using LV 5.1 !! So clipboard.llb is better for me. Thanks for application class example and for forum

The Invoke Node is THE answer still in 2021 (thanks to Jarrod_S.)
