Hey all. First of all thanks for the help in advance.

I am trying to create a macro to help me fill out forms with text from my clipboard. I would like my text to paste the first value i copied and then press tab to the next entry, then paste the second value i copied and then press tab to the next entry, and so on. This is the best i got and so far it will only paste the first and second value.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
 
// The 'text' parameter will contain the text from the: 
// - Current Clipboard when run by HotKey 
// - History Item when run from the History Menu 
// The returned string will be: 
// - Placed directly on the Clipboard 
// - Ignored by ClipboardFusion if it is 'null' 
public static class ClipboardFusionHelper 
{ 
public static string ProcessText(string text) 
{ 
// Tell ClipboardFusion to ignore any changes to the Clipboard. 
// Depending on your settings, pasting text could modify the history 
BFS.ClipboardFusion.PauseClipboardListener(); 
 
// Get the first item from the Clipboard History 
text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(0); 
 
// Paste the text to the active window 
BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text); 
 
// Press the "Tab" button 
BFS.Input.SendKeys("{TAB}"); 
 
// Get the second item from the Clipboard History 
text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(1); 
 
// paste the text to the active window 
BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text); 
 
// Press the "Tab" button 
BFS.Input.SendKeys("{TAB}"); 
 
// Get the third item from the Clipboard History 
text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(1); 
 
// paste the text to the active window 
BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text); 
 
// Press the "Tab" button 
BFS.Input.SendKeys("{TAB}"); 
 
// Get the fourth item from the Clipboard History 
text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(1); 
 
// paste the text to the active window 
BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text); 
 
// Press the "Tab" button 
BFS.Input.SendKeys("{TAB}"); 
 
// Tell ClipboardFusion to start watching the Clipboard again 
BFS.ClipboardFusion.ResumeClipboardListener(); 
 
// Tell ClipboardFusion to ignore the return from this Macro 
return null; 
} 
}

Looking forward to hearing back from you : )

Hello,

Can you try increasing the "BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(0);" value by 1 each time you call it, and see if that helps?

Thanks!
