System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetText() provides that functionality. So put that in a VB component and you're good to go.

Wow Thank you david :)

I searched this before and When I copied it nothing came out

but I just tried updating the clipboard and the definition didn't :( so I only had one hope and it was adding a time to the vb :) And yesss That's the way it updates :)

Thanks a million:)

If you add some timer logic to the VB code, it won't cause an update unless the Clipboard content actually changes. See attached.

Testing interval is hard-coded to 1000 milliseconds which means that on average the response time of the component is half a second.
