Can't get around STAThreadAttributePrivate Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim test As New MyTestClass 'Create an Instance of the ClipBoard Object Dim sHyperLink As String Dim data_object As New System.Windows.Forms.DataObject Dim DataFormats As System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats Dim objClipboard As System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard sHyperLink = test.CreateHyperlink(CInt(TextBox1.Text), TextBox2.Text) 'Write HyperLink to Clip Board data_object.SetData(DataFormats.Html, True, sHyperLink) objClipboard.SetDataObject(data_object, True) End Sub I get this error: The current thread must set to Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. Since I'm trying to place items on the Clients Clipboard, is there a way around the System.Windows.Forms Namespace and still be able to use these classes I need? If not, how do I get around the STAThreadAttribute error? Why don't you use javascript?
http://dotnet.org.za/eduard/archive/2004/07/29/3064.aspx HTH, Darren Kopp http://blog.secudocs.com/ I have this JavaScript function and it works, but it doesn't set the
formatting that I am looking for: /// Copy Source to Clipboard function copytoClipBoard(rSource) { if(rSource!= "") window.clipboardData.setData("Text",rSource); } When I copy the hyperlink to the Clipboard I want it to retain it's HTML formatting. Basically, I'm trying to capture something like this http://www.somewhere.com as MyLink where I want only MyLink to show up (in blue with a underline and the codebehind is the url as the hyperlink). When I do a Ctrl+P in a Microsoft Word Document it should just paste MyLink with a blue underline ONLY. System.Windows.Forms.DataObject should allow me to do that, but I don't know how to get it to work with .aspx, since it appears to only work with Windows Forms.

However, I don't
think that will work for people connecting over a website. You have to use AspCompat="true" in your @ Page directive to get an
STA thread for your page. But .... You know you'll be manipulating the clipboard of the server, right? -- Show quoteHide quoteScott http://www.OdeToCode.com/blogs/scott/ On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 09:19:30 -0800, SAL <S**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >When the following code is excuted from my .apsx page: > > Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As >System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click > > Dim test As New MyTestClass > > 'Create an Instance of the ClipBoard Object > Dim sHyperLink As String > > Dim data_object As New System.Windows.Forms.DataObject > Dim DataFormats As System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats > Dim objClipboard As System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard > > sHyperLink = test.CreateHyperlink(CInt(TextBox1.Text), TextBox2.Text) > > 'Write HyperLink to Clip Board > data_object.SetData(DataFormats.Html, True, sHyperLink) > objClipboard.SetDataObject(data_object, True) > > > End Sub > >I get this error: > > The current thread must set to Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode before OLE > calls can be made.

If not, how do I get around the STAThreadAttribute error? this still will not work because the clipboard is part of the desktop. there
is no desktop for services like asp.net. not sure how putting data in the servers clipboard would do any good anyway. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) Show quoteHide quote "Scott Allen" <scott@nospam.odetocode.com> wrote in message news:sd4qu1p753r81rofcltee3u2ds7f1clcpi@4ax.com... > You have to use AspCompat="true" in your @ Page directive to get an > STA thread for your page. > > But .... > > You know you'll be manipulating the clipboard of the server, right? > > -- > Scott > http://www.OdeToCode.com/blogs/scott/ > > On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 09:19:30 -0800, SAL > <S**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > >>When the following code is excuted from my .apsx page: >> >> Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As >>System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click >> >> Dim test As New MyTestClass >> >> 'Create an Instance of the ClipBoard Object >> Dim sHyperLink As String >> >> Dim data_object As New System.Windows.Forms.DataObject >> Dim DataFormats As System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats >> Dim objClipboard As System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard >> >> sHyperLink = test.CreateHyperlink(CInt(TextBox1.Text), >> TextBox2.Text) >> >> 'Write HyperLink to Clip Board >> data_object.SetData(DataFormats.Html, True, sHyperLink) >> objClipboard.SetDataObject(data_object, True) >> >> >> End Sub >> >>I get this error: >> >> The current thread must set to Single Thread Apartment (STA) mode before >> OLE >> calls can be made.

Clipboard, but it does not retain the formatting that that I looking for. The formatting that I’m looking for is to capture the Embedded Hyperlink (i.e. TestHyperLink in Blue with underline) and not just the URL, that I can do a Ctrl+P into a Word Doc or Email. Do you have any suggestion on how to do that? If you go to a webpage that has an Embedded hyperlink you can high light Embedded Hyperlink and do a Ctrl+C and then a Ctrl+P into a Work Doc, and that works fine, but how do you do it programmatically is my question. My Embedded Hyperlinks are being built from records in a DB table.

Word or the Email interpret what is a link, but they usually auto format. I would think you would need to copy all the <a href="link.htm">title</a>, rather than just the href, or just the title portions of the link. Maybe you can post the javascript function. -Darren Kopp http://blog.secudocs.com The javaScript function is nothing fancy. Here's what I have:
function copytoClipBoard(rSource) { if(rSource!= "") window.clipboardData.setData("Text",rSource); } I just capture and pass the following string to my javaScript funtion Which works fine when you do a response.write to a ASP.net page, but not Word or Email. With Word or Email when you do a Ctrl+P you just get the URL. However, if you go to some web page like MSDN, and "HIGHLIGHT" a hyperlink and do a Ctrl+C then do a Ctrl+P, Word does Hyperlinks something like this: {HYPERLINK "http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.aspx"}, which is the "Field Codes" that you DO NOT see unless you turn it on. Instead, what you see is the caption "MSDN Home" when you do a Ctrl+P. If you try to do this programmatically there is no place for you put the Caption you want, so instead you would get the whole URL in Blue and Underlined as I do when I use Anchor Tags.

determine how to change the display text. Even with that, copying and pasting a code such as {HYPERLINK ...} just pasted as straight text, so I don't know how you can have it formatted how you want. Most I would guess is a possible way to format what you copied using the word activex object, but I don't know if it's possible or if it is possible what you would need to do.
