That's it... I'm trying to make a macro to "cycle", paste the item, then remove it, then using the same macro should paste the "next" item.

I've tried this:

using System;

Code
Copy
Select All

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        // paste the newest entry
        text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(0);
        BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text);
                
        // now remove it
        BFS.ClipboardFusion.RemoveHistoryItem(0);

        return text;

    }
}

But it doesn't seem to remove it from the history. If I change the index, it works (removing the second item), so I don't understand

I think I see your problem! When you return "text" and not "null", ClipboardFusion will automatically set the clipboard with the result of the Macro. Here's some code that should work for you:

Code
Copy
Select All

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
    public static string ProcessText(string text)
    {
        // paste the newest entry
        text = BFS.ClipboardFusion.GetHistoryText(0);
        BFS.Clipboard.PasteText(text);
                
        // now remove it
        BFS.ClipboardFusion.RemoveHistoryItem(0);

        //get ClipboardFusion to ignore the result of this macro
        return null;
    }
}
