Hi,

is it possible to have an application that can type a text in an editor (like MS Word) on the desktop?

lets say i have a .doc file opened on my desktop, i need an application that can read a text from somewhere, and paste it in the page of my desktop file. (the file and the .net application are separate)

is it related to using the desktop buffer? will this work on any type of text editor, i.e. a website with a textbox ?

thank you for any clarification

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.

It is the same account you read, post and publish with — and you will come straight back to this page.

the doc file is just an example, it could be an excel file, a website...

regarding opening the file, it will be manually by the user, and for sure this will be the first step to do (before to start appending in it), then the copy paste process will start.

note that the application i think about, doesn't worry about the destination file, that is why i need to use the clipboard...

What you want to do is possible. But the implementation could be nasty.

Bottom line, you want to automate clipboard copy paste. Do you really want to do that? Do you really require that the Doc file be opened while appending your data? Or would it be ok to just open the doc file after appending is done?
