Hi,
Below the comments, are some suggestions...
I dont believe there is such an event, and would expect there could not be,
as pasting from the clipboard makes no changes to the clipboard. Even if
you paste something where it cant go, such as to a menu item, Jaws just
says, "pasted", as it can not tell whether it got pasted.
Some possibilities:
1. you could script your own Control+V script, & in that script, following a
small Pause () after the PasteFromClipboard () line, use something like
GetTextInWindowor GetWindowText to obtain the text in the window in which
the attempt to paste was made, & compare it to the text still on the
clipboard.
example: if (StringContains (GetTextInWindow(parameters) ==
GetTextFromClipboard())) then...
2. if the process that pastes the text to the window is automated, or you
dont have the possibility of scripting it as above, then you *may* be able
to catch it with NewTextEvent. In NewTextEvent you would compare the handle
of the window with the new text, to the handle of the window where the paste
was made, perhaps the focus window, then compare the text received by
NewTextEvent with the text still on the Clipboard, as above, or perhaps with
the StringContains parameters reversed, as NewTextEvent does not always
report newly written text all in one block.
* If the comparison is true, then the paste has been confirmed, then just
use CopyToClipboard to copy a nul string to the clipboard.
example: CopyToClipboard ("")
Hope something here is useful.

Paul from Aust

HI all.
I am trying to find a solution to a little problem concerning the clip
board.
Ihave an application in which I need to copy information from a window to
paste into another.
This is all good, but I need to find a way to check if the information has
been pasted, and
then have the clipboard reset so that it is either clear or it has something
else but the
information collected from the prior window.
Is there an event perhaps not documented out there that can tell me this?
Can't find it in the fcnd.
Any suggestions if not as to how I can test for this?
