I need to somehow paste from the clipboard without using SendKeys.SendWait("^v"); Sounds crazy, yes, but I need to know how. Is there a method I can call in one of the system DLL's? I have searched but can find anything! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps you should use the Clipboard[^] Class?

I am using the Clipboard Class. The problem is that I need to paste into another program. I have a keyboard hook set up and now I want to make it that when they press "Ctrl + A" (example) it will paste what ever is in the clipboard. I was just using SendKeys.SendWait(MyString), which works fine, but if I want to paste an image this isn't going to work. I need to somehow just tell the OS to paste as if the user has pushed Ctrl + V.
