Copy/Paste multiple objects

[Greg]

Hi all,

Is there a way to copy multiple objects into the clipboard and then paste
them?
What I want to achive is to be able to copy UI controls (textedits,
dropdowns, etc) from one form and paste them into another form.

Your help is much appriciated. Thanks in advance,
Greg.

just select controls with mouse (with help of CTRL - one by one), then
Edit->Copy (or CTRL+C), go to a destination form and Edit->Paste (or CTRL+V)
..... like in a word processor

Re: Copy/Paste multiple objects

It doesn't work. It seems that I cannot copy/paste a single textbox let
alone multiple textboxes.
Here is the example I used for a single text box:

Clipboard.SetDa taObject(textBo x2);
IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDa taObject();
TextBox newTextBox = (TextBox)iData. GetData(DataFor mats.Serializab le);

textBox2 exists already on the form.

What is returned by GetData is a null reference.

Please help....
