Copy to clipboard without using ^c?

[milkygirl90]

I have a script that uses ^c to trigger some code. However, another piece of code requires me to copy text from the application. Is there any code I can use which can bypass ^c to copy the text?

Code: Select all

var := "test"
clipboard := var

You could use things like ControlGetText and a lot of other ways to get text and put in clipboard

How about changing your script to use something other than ^c to trigger the code?

I want to retain that hotkey, hence asking for alternatives ..

I have to first copy the text from application to clipboard first, hence can't assign it within ahk first.

Can't use control either cos there's no focused control:

If you can copy by right-clicking and selecting "Copy" from a context menu, then you can simulate that.

Another option is ACC but do not know if it will work with this java based program.
