1. Win32Lib and the Clipboard...
Greetings,
I'm writing a program in Win32Lib and need to be able to copy a string to
the clipboard without first putting it in a control and selecting it. Is
that possible? In other words, the user will never see the string, they
just press a button and it gets sent to the clipboard.
Also, can I select the text in an SLE or MLE with a command so that I can
implement a select-all?
Thanks,
Ben

I think you'd have to use 'SetClipboardData'. More info on this function
is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winbase/clipbrd_4pup.htm
If you are not sure what to do with this then reply to me personally and I
will give you a hand with a wrapper for it (or if somebody already has a
wrapper for it then they should speak up).

This can be easily done using Win32Lib's 'sendMessage' function. Send the
message 'EM_SETSEL' to your control. wParam is the starting position and
lParam is ending position. If the start is 0 and the end is =961, all the
text in the edit control is selected. More info on EM_SETSEL can be found
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/editcon_4gmk.htm

Thanks, Brian and Caballero.
I hope to have the program I'm working on ready to put on the Euphoria site
soon. It'll be the first one I've contributed.

Ben
