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.

Regards,

Ben
