    I am currently having trouble getting EventGhost to capture the System.ClipboardChanged event.

    Code (Text):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <EventGhost Version="1710">
        <Macro Name="Send clipboard to my device" Expanded="True">
            <Event Name="System.ClipboardChanged" />
            <Action>
                AutoRemote.SendMessage(u'Moto X', u'http://goo.gl/FAkeurl', u'MyDeviceKey', u'copy=:={eg.WinApi.Clipboard.GetClipboardText()}', u'', u'', u'', '', u'', u'')
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </EventGhost>
    Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? If I manually execute the macro, it runs fine, but it's not getting executed when the clipboard changes.

    Does the event show up in the left pane in EventGhost when your clipboard changes?

    No. Nothing happens at all when I copy text (either through Ctrl-C or Right click - Copy).

    Edit: Just tried it on a different computer, and it seems to work fine. I'm still not sure why the event wouldn't be captured on the computer I was originally trying it with. I initially had the macro attached to the Ctrl-C event (because I didn't know about System.ClipboardChanged), so maybe the mapping of the hotkey got messed up somehow. But like I said, it didn't work when I use the right-click method either.

    That's a problem with EventGhost then. If the clipboard isn't being monitored then the event will never happen and the macro won't be executed. Sorry I don't know why the clipboard wouldn't be monitored in your case...

    As it turns out, restarting the system fixed the problem.
