Working with clipboard is possible only in single thread classes defined with correct stathreadattribute.

Item event isnt single, so you cannot use it directly. Solution for you is define new class with stathreadattribute and inside itemevent call methods inside this class. Try to search in google for stathreadattribute and clipboard, youll find a lot of examples (I dont have acces now to my source codes to send it you directly).

Hi all,

Could anyone please provide an example?

I'm having the same problem using the clipboard text in event handler.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
