I have a program that I'm working on that register global hotkeys

I would like to use that ability to trigger highlighted text or data to be copied to the clipboard and then read from the clipboard into a variable in my program

which i will later use in reverse to paste it back out.

(example ctrl+1 copys to quque #1 and alt+1 pasts what is in quque 1)

thanks so much.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
