Visual Studio: duplicate line

[jeeswg]

I have this code to duplicate a line in Visual Studio. I was wondering if there was a way to avoid using the clipboard. Can AutoHotkey use COM to do this? (Cf. Visual Studio macros.) You can retrieve all of the text from the GUI element via AccViewer, but I'm not sure if you can get the start/end points. UI Automation? Cheers.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe WDExpress.exe
^d:: ;visual studio - duplicate line
;SendInput, {Up}{Home}+{End}^c{Down}^v ;paste text
;SendInput, {Up}^c{Down}^v ;paste text and linebreak

ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Clipboard := ""
SendInput, {Up}{Home}+{End}^c
ClipWait, 3
SendInput, {Down}{End}^v
Sleep, 200
Clipboard := ClipSaved
return
#IfWinActive
