Selenium VBA code to paste data in browser

Question

I am trying to stimulate the control+v option in a text box in chrome using selenium vba wrapper. I tried using the context click but that function seems to click at a random position based on the cursor position. I tried using the send key function but i am not getting the desired result.

selenium.SendKeys (key.Control & "v")

Please any advise or leads would be much appreciated.

You want to target the text box before using sendkeys. Let's say, hypothetically, that there is an ID called textbox1 for identifying the element then:

driver.FindElementById("textbox1").SendKeys("yourString")

Or

driver.FindElementById("textbox1").SendKeys Keys.Control, "v"

The latter assuming info is already in the clipboard with, for example, driver.SetClipBoard "yourString"

I think you'll be better off using a variable to hold your data rather than the clipboard. Then you can use sendkeys to type it in:

myData= "your data here"
selenium.sendkeys myData
