MsgBox Designer - Copy Text Box value to Clipboard

[AdiSto]

Attached is a library that contains a MsgBox Designer (feel free to use it). The start procedure is MsgBoxDialog.
What I want is to add a “Copy code to Clipboard” button. When I click on the button, the text from the txtCode multiline control should be copied to the Clipboard.
I’ve tried everything I know and everything Gemini + ChatGPT told me, but nothing works.

Libreoffice Calc - Macro to copy text from txt file to clipboard

You can try macro TEST, but usage of system clipboard for this operation isn’t safe. You can work with bigger file and macro will do next commands, but system clipboard could still copy the data from file, so there probably will occur some errors. Or you can try it for more files and it could be also problematic. global gsClipboard$ 'for System clipboard Sub TEST dim sUrl$, s$ sUrl="d:/myfile.txt" 'your file s=loadFileString(sUrl) 'default encoding is UTF-8 putToClipboard(s) msgbox getFro…

How do you copy text to clipboard from macro?

I’m trying to use a macro to copy text to the clipboard from LO Base and then paste the text into Firefox. The code below only works once. The second time I try only a few characters get pasted and then shortly after LO crashes. Is there a bug in LO or is something wrong with my code? I’m running under Ubuntu 18 and LO 6.0.7.3 Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code: GLOBAL sGlobalText as STRING SUB CopyClipboardTitle(event as OBJECT) rem this routine is called when a button on…

are my first two hits…

Please attach a document of an odf type containg your code. A replacement for the Sub you don’t yet get to work may simply tell “Here I am!”
This way a contributor can much more easily (or at all) see what you actually try to achieve than by studying files from your profile.

You can research the OpenOffice extension Basic IDE Tools

Thanks to everyone who responded. I attached a Calc file in which I simplified: there is a dialog with two controls, a button and a TextBox. I want the button’s Execute Action event to copy the text from the TextBox to the Clipboard.
Initially I did not attach a document, because what I did does not use or work with files. No file of any kind. It is a visual Designer for MsgBox and is only used within the Basic IDE.
The problem seemed simple to me, but, as someone said here, the API only offers the possibility of copying from files, I think.
I will try to write the text to a temporary txt file, then copy its content to the Clipboard, and then delete the file.

The interface Xtransferable only has a scope of the CurrentController and controllers obtained via the StarDesktop, imo.
To push something to the system’s clipboard you need (afaik) to use the dispatcher with the UNO command .uno:Copy.
This requires that the content you want to push is the CurrentSelection of a document (controller) which is handled by your code.
This can be a document which also contains the code or a document which is created by ThisComponent for the purpose.
I was wrong.
