I need a method where user can copy a text from somewhere and paste copied text into a text-box of my PowerApps app with just a click of button. How to make the button ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous
Could you share more detail about your requirements?
For the moment, you can try to use Variable to save the copy value, and assign the Variable to other Text box Default property to implement the Copy/Paste button.
A simple test:
1. set Copy/Paste button OnSelect: Set(Var_Copy,TextInput1.Text)
2. set TextInput2 Default: If(!IsBlank(Var_Copy),Var_Copy)

Thanks @v-siky-msft ,
I never thought of that
@Anonymous - please accept @v-siky-msft response as the solution
Cheers,
This question has been around my head for two days and has no answer. The solution shown here only reads the value of a textbox to put it in a variable associated with another textbox. What the user asks is if it is possible for example to copy the coordinates of a point in google maps, return to my app and with a button, paste what it copies in some textbox for example. Is there a way to access the clipboard and put the content in some control of my form?
Thank you
Hi,
With the function Location.Lagitude, Location.Longitude and Location.Altitude, you can get the real values from your smartphone.
You can put this on your text label, and then you can use the tip of this topic to solve your problem.
Have a scenario
Love the function above currently it works however there is one work around i cant get and i feel like it is probably a simple solution can someone assist.
ok i need assistance with two work arounds
one the manager's text box where the copied data is going into. When he clicks the button that copies and pastes from the gallery item it show the previous user's information. Until you edit the information.
second workaround i need. Every time i enter the edit button (which is were i have the set of rules and then save the data it copies the user's information again below what has already been edited?
Image 1
Edit button on select has
Set(Var_Copy,TServiceReport_1.Text);
UpdateContext({LetsEdit: !LetsEdit});
Reset(TFinalReport_1);
The save button on select has:
Patch('TestingAPP-WeekendServiceReportList',ThisItem,{FinalReport: TFinalReport_1.Text});UpdateContext({LetsEdit:false})
The manager report text box has on default
Gallery3.Selected.GFinalrepor_1
this feeds info from a hidden text box in the gallery
___________________
Basically the outcome i want is when the manager hits the edit button i want the information from the user to populate in the managers text box. Giving him the ability to edit the information at his will. Save it and then send a report to himself once all the departments have entered their data.
A email function button appears once the checkboxes are ticked.
I hope i have explained myself properly.
thanks
Why can't you use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V? We do that a lot, and it works fine.
