ADXIEHTMLDocEvents OnCopy Event fires before data is in clipboard

I'm able to get the event onCopy to fire in ADXIEHTMLDocEvents when I copy something on the page but it shows the previous item that was entered in the clipboard, so its always one behind. Here is a snippet of my code: 

 
var data = Clipboard.GetText();
(this.MyToolbar1.ToolBarObj as MyToolbarProject.MyBar1).SetToTextBox(data);


The text will go into my textbox so I have no problem there but its always the last item that was entered in the Clipboard. Is there some sort of work around for this?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,

Please try to access the clipboard in the OnSendMessage event handler as shown below: 

 
        private const int WM_USER = 0x0400;
        private const int WM_AFTERCOPY = WM_USER + 100;

        private void adxiehtmlDocEvents1_OnCopy(object sender, object eventObject, ADXCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            this.SendMessage(WM_AFTERCOPY, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
        }

        private void IEModule_OnSendMessage(ADXIESendMessageEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Message == WM_AFTERCOPY)
            {
                var data = Clipboard.GetText();
                if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(data))
                    MessageBox.Show(this, data);
            }
        }

ADXIEHTMLDocEvents does not have an OnSendMessage Event. I'm using version 7.2.4104.

My ultimate goal is to have a fast and easy way for my Flex application to talk to my IE Toolbar so I can show some text. This way the user can still see the text when they go to another website. Is there a better way to do this because I was going to have my Flex application copy text to the clipboard and have my toolbar display it. I plan on having some prefix to go with the copied text so I know its coming from my Flex application. If you have a better way please let me know.

Hi Robert,

OnSendMessage is the event of the iemodule. You can find it in the toolbar too. Please let me know if you face any difficulties implementing the code.
