    Repairing and Gleaning some information from here
    https://www.mrexcel.com/board/thread...board.1087948/


    Yasser tried to get some help from us at eileenslounge.com in 2019 to get VBA to do like clicking that Clear All Button
    We got as far it working in Office versions 2003 2007 2010 ( https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic....246770#p246770
    https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic....246838#p246838
    ) , that was all I had at the time.
    Yasser went off to mrexcel.com and got some interesting info from Jaafar Tribak , who tried bit failed still to get it working in Office 2016. (Back then he only had Office versions 2007 2010 and 2013).
    Never the less, there was some interesting stuff there to review, unfortunately that mrexcel thread has got a bit messed up by a forum software update, so I tried to make a repaired summarized copy of it, only pulling out the important bits here - I mean here what I am writing now
    Yassers comments/ posts are the green ones
    Yaz: ………

    , Jaafar Tribak’s suggestions are normal black
    Jaf: ………
    , and any new comments or minor modifications from me, based on me trying some of Jaafar Tribak’s suggestions or other more recent experiments are in purple
    Alan 2024: …..






    Jaf: Trys this (This seems to be the first occurrence of what I will call the small one )
    Code:
         ' new small one first occurrance we missed in 2019 at mrexcel    https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/reset-clear-clipboard.1087948/#post-5228633

                DoEvents
            End If
            For j = 1 To 4
                AccessibleChildren avAcc, Choose(j, 0, 3, 0, 3), 1, avAcc, 1

            Application.CommandBars(MyPain ). Visible = bClipboard    '   ("Office Clipboard").Visible = bClipboard
    End Sub


    Yaz: I have tested the code and I got the Clipboard window open then I got Invalid procedure call (Error '5') at this line

    avAcc.accDoDefaultAction 2& '1& for paste


    Alan 2024: Works Office 2007 2010 2013
    For 2003 to work added the MyPain stuff
    (We all seem to have missed this in 2019, this new
    small one, which would appear for versions 2013 and lower to work as well as the big ones

    For Office 2016, same as Yasser, Runtime error '5'
    Ungültiger Prozeduraufruf oder ungültiges Argument
    , and his other finding too


    Jaf: Strange ! Are you using an Arabic edition of office ?

    Try experimenting with :

    avAcc.accDoDefaultAction 0&

    and if the above doesn't work try this :

    avAcc.accDoDefaultAction 1&

    Yaz: I tried 1& and this throws error too ...
    Then I tried &0 and this doesn't throw any error .. But when have a look at the clipboard, I found it not clear

    I am using Office 2016 32Bit (English version)

    Jaf: Can you place an On Error Resume Next statement right before :
    Set a = avAcc

    Yaz: I just got 0 in the immediate window
    And I put the line before the line of
    avAcc.accDoDefaultAction 2&
    and I got also 0

    All other results as Yasser


    Jaf: I don't know why it doesn't work in office 2016. Maybe the hierarchy of the Accessibility buttons is different from that of previous office editions --- unfortunately, I don't use excel 2016 so I could test it.

    Call oIA.accDoDefaultAction(vKid)


    Alan 2024: This coding appeared very similar to my final offering in 2019. To make a better comparison I have made changes, mostly in coding layout in the coding above, and in an updated version of "mine"** With those changes, they are almost identical .
    My findings have been discussed already, (
    )
    I had similar findings to Yasser, - the problem seemed to be that we could not get it to work in Office 2016


    Jaf: Try adding a MsgBox to the code :
    Code:
                If InStr("Clear All - Borrar todo - Effacer tout", oIA.accName(vKid)) Then
                   MsgBox vKid
                    Call oIA.accDoDefaultAction(vKid): CommandBars("Office Clipboard").Visible = Not bHidden: bHidden = False: Exit Sub
                End If
    What value does the MsgBox show ?

    Yaz: The value of vKid is 0

    Jaf: I am afraid, I don't have excel 2016 for testing -- The two codes I have posted work fine in excel 2007 , 2010 and 2013

    Yaz: Is there a way or steps that I can do for you so as to clarify the issue for excel 2016 .. such as using specific program that shows the APIs of the "Clear All" button for this version?


    Jaf: I don't think it is going to be possible for me to find out where the problem lies without me having a copy of office 2016 for testing.
    I guess the reason for the code not working in office 2016 is that the hierarchy of the accessible buttons in the office clipboard has changed.

    Yaz: ….( Arabisch – erkannt ) … Is it possible to use TeamViewer so that you can see the problem from my device?? Or is it possible for me to walk with you through the steps in any program so that you can see the structure of version 2016??

    Jaf: I am afraid that is not going to be possible as I have no idea about remote stuff.

    If I get hold of a computer that has office 2016 installed in it, I will definitely let you know.
