Cut, Paste methods, TextBox control example

The following example uses the Cut and Paste methods to cut text from one TextBox and paste it into another TextBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

• Two TextBox controls named TextBox1 and TextBox2.
• A CommandButton named CommandButton1.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 TextBox1.Text = "From TextBox1!" 
 TextBox2.Text = "Hello " 
 
 CommandButton1.Caption = "Cut and Paste" 
 CommandButton1.AutoSize = True 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 
 TextBox2.SelStart = 0 
 TextBox2.SelLength = TextBox2.TextLength 
 TextBox2.Cut 
 
 TextBox1.SetFocus 
 TextBox1.SelStart = 0 
 
 TextBox1.Paste 
 TextBox2.SelStart = 0 
End Sub
