Summary
Copy highlighted text to the clipboard.
Syntax
Boolean Copy ()
Description
Clipboard activities, such as copy and paste can be performed in the emulation window. Copying the selected text in the VT220 emulation window to the clipboard can be accomplished by calling
the Copy method. The Paste method can then be called to paste the copied text into the emulation window. The Clear method can be used to clear the text on the clipboard.
Before calling this method, an application must make sure that this action can be performed by verifying that the CopyClipboard property is True. This method can only be called after the VT220
emulation window has been created and initialized.
The Copy method takes no parameters and returns a boolean. If the highlighted text can be successfully copied into the buffer, then the method returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The
application should ensure that the method was successfully executed by checking the return value.
Calling this method is equivalent to setting the VtAction property to VT_COPY_CLIPBOARD.

Result = VT220Client.Copy ()
If Result = False Then
MsgBox "Unable to copy text to clipboard", 64, "Sample Program"
End If
