Application.Clipboard property

Returns the Clipboard object associated with this application

Syntax:

Property Get Clipboard() As Clipboard

Remarks:

The Clipboard property returns a read-only value that is associated with the system Clipboard. The Clipboard (or Clipboard object) is a temporary storage area that holds cut or copied information; always present in Windows, the Clipboard stores information until it is replaced by another cut or copied item, or until the current session of Windows ends.

Examples:

The following VBA example checks whether there is any data in the system Clipboard. If data is present, it is pasted into the current document. If no data is present, a message is displayed in a message box.

Sub ClipboardData()
  If Not Clipboard.Empty Then 'if there is data in the clipboard
    ActiveLayer.Paste 'paste data into the active layer
  Else
    MsgBox "There is no data in the clipboard."
  End If
End Sub
