SetClipBoardData()

well, i've had a look as MSDN, and it's really not a help.

if anyone could post a quick example of the code that will *work* i'll love you forever.

Assuming you are interested in text......run this and then paste into any program (MSWord, notepad.....etc)....

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <string.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hThisInstance,
                                  HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                                  LPSTR lpszArgument,
                                  int nFunsterStil)
{

        HANDLE hData;//For the data to send to the clipboard
        char szData[] = "Hello World (from the clipboard!!)",//phrase
                *ptrData = NULL;//pointer to allow char copying
        int nStrLen = strlen(szData);//length of phrase

        hData = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_DDESHARE,
                nStrLen + 1);//get handle to memory to hold phrase
       
        ptrData = (char*)GlobalLock(hData);//get pointer from handle

        memcpy(ptrData,szData,nStrLen + 1);//copy over the phrase

        GlobalUnlock(hData);//free the handle

        OpenClipboard(NULL);//allow you to work with clipboard

        EmptyClipboard();//clear previous contents

        SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT,hData);//set our data

        CloseClipboard();//finished!!
       
 
  return 0;
}

Oh........and there is no need to "love me forever"......

*praises Fordy*
