This might seem like a noob question, but how would I copy text and paste text into a ComboBoxEx from my Clipboard? I've tried lots of different tuts, but i cant get it. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes I mean the coding. I need to know how to Paste text into the ComboBoxEx from my clipboard. So far, I have gotten the copy part, but the paste is what I need help with.

You should be able to change the style of it in the properties (DropDownStyle) to "DropDown". Look for something among those lines... I know that the DotNetBar devs don't like steering too far away from the standard component's properties.

yeah, its on that option, but still no luck :/

But this is the code that I have for the Copy that worked:

Clipboard.SetText(ComboBoxEx1.Text)

And this is the code that I have for paste but it doesnt work:

        If Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then
            Clipboard.GetText(ComboBoxEx1.Text)
        End If

I keep getting this error during debugging when i try to paste text into the ComboBoxEx

"Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid."

Clipboard.SetDataObject(ComboBoxEx1.Text, true, 10, 50)

Try that.

Edit: whoops, that's for copying -- which you have working. For paste, try:
Clipboard.GetDataObject().ToString()

if(Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text))
{
       ComboBoxEx1.Text = (string)Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(DataFormats.Text); 
    }

That's obviously in C#, but converting should be a breeze.
