Copying results to clipboard. Is there a better way ?
 

Inside a userform there is some code that takes a string, does some
calculation, and produces a result. This result needs to be "sent" to the
clipboard, so that the user - if needing it - can paste it in a cell. For
example, the user enters the 12 first digits of a barcode string, the code
calculates the check digit and then concatenates both in order to create the
entire barcode string.
This string is sent to the clipboard, so that the user can paste it in a cell.

In order to do this, i have declared a variable twice, once as a string and
once again as a New Dataobject:

Dim CodeToEvaluate, CompleteCode As String
Dim CC As Integer
Dim CompleteCodeFinal As New DataObject

After the user enters CodeToEvaluate, some calculation is done for CC to be
found, and then

Let CompleteCode = CodeToEvaluate & CC

Complete code is shown to the user with an Msgbox, and then

CompleteCodeFinal.SetText CompleteCode
CompleteCodeFinal.PutInClipboard

It Works OK. BUT i wonder if there is a more "elegant" way to do this.

No, that's as elegant as it gets.

Dim CodeToEvaluate, CompleteCode As String

FYI, that declares CodeToEvaluate as a variant and CompleteCode as a string.
VB does not do it like C.
