How to copy user input text to clipboard?

[PacBreezy]

Hi all,

Can someone please help me copy the user entered text to clipboard? Here's my code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
Var1=Input1
Var2=Input2

[MeterBackground]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,255 
W=250
H=65

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
X=5
Y=5
FontSize=16
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1
Text=#Var1#
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "TextInput" "ExecuteBatch 1"

[MeterTwo]
Meter=String
X=0r
Y=5R
FontSize=16
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1
Text=#Var2#
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "TextInput" "ExecuteBatch 2"

[TextInput]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=InputText
SolidColor=255,255,255
FontColor=0,0,0,255
FontFace=Verdana
FontSize=14
AntiAlias=1
FocusDismiss=1
DefaultValue=""
X=5
Y=0
H=25
W=240
Command1=[!SetVariable Var1 "$UserInput$"] DefaultValue="#Var1#" Y=5
Command2=[!SetVariable Var2 "$UserInput$"] DefaultValue="#Var2#" Y=35

[CopyButton]
Meter=Button
ButtonImage=#@#Copy_Button.png
X=0
Y=10R
ButtonCommand=[!SetClip "#Var1#[\x0D]#Var2#"]

My problem is that the ButtonCommand=[!SetClip "#Var1#[\x0D]#Var2#"] copies the predefined value and not the changed value of Var1 & Var2. Please be noob friendly with me

Big thanks in advanced!

Add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the [CopyButton] meter.

Ok, so in the Command line change !SetVariable to !WriteKeyValue? That did copied the user entered text to the clipboard but it also changed the predefined variable which doesn't help in my situation. Thanks tho!

Add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the [CopyButton] meter.

Bro, no lie, I did as you suggested in this thread but it was confusing to me. I can't believe all I needed was DynamicVariables=1 to the button meter. I feel dumb. Anyways, thank you good sir!

Also, I want to thank you for this

Something like this: [!SetClip "#Mystring#[\x09]#Mystring#"]. Note the [\x09] character variable between the two #MyString# variables, which is the character for TAB.

I googled [\x09] and found out it was hex for tab. So I looked up hex for the new line, or enter, or return or whatever you call it, and applied to my case scenario

Yes, because death.crafter replaced your !SetVariable bangs with !WriteKeyValue, which permanently and phisically rewrites the variables.

No, no, don't feel dumb at all. The !SetVariable bang sets the variable, but the DynamicVariables=1 option is needed in the measure or meter where you want to use the variable. without it the measure or meter uses the original, phisically set value. This has happend in your case and this is why you can't use a variable set with !SetVariable in, for instance, the [Rainmeter] section, this section not accepting the dynamic variables.

You're welcome. I'm glad if you found an answer.
