1. [WIN] how clear clipboard?
Does anyone know how to *clear* the clipboard? I've tried everything I can
think of, but can't seem to do it. The closest I've come is to setText to "
" and copy that, which "works" (in that it removes what had been there), but
puts a space into the clipboard. But "" doesn't work, nor does select mle
text, clear(mle), copy(mle); seems like anything I do that makes "empty"
text to copy, the result is whatever was previously in the clipboard is
still there.

Derek,
Been sitting, gotta get up and move around, :)
I can't get EmptyClipboard to work, in the same place that
setText(HiddenMle, " "), copy(HiddenMle) semi-worked.
I used void = w32Func(xEmptyClipboard, {}), 'cause I didn't know what
to put as a parameter, which didn't error, but didn't clear the clipboard
either.

Henri,
I'll have to experiment with this, as it does seem to clear the clipboard,
but subsequent copy/pastes seem to be not working, I think. I tried
xCloseClipboard, but that messed up worse, with errors.

5. Re: [WIN] how clear clipboard?
After reading the SDk a bit, it seems you need to do this ...
atom void
if w32Func(xOpenClipboard,{getHandle(yourmainwind)}) then
void = w32Func(xEmptyClipboard,{})
void = w32Func(xCloseClipboard,{})
else
-- Some other process owns the clipboard just now.
end if

6. Re: [WIN] how clear clipboard?
Derek,
When I use that, I get the following error:
C:\EUPHORIA\WIN32LIB\IDE\2_10_5\Win32lib.ew:409 in function w32Func()
subscript value 4 is out of bounds, reading from a sequence of length 3
funcid = 124'|'
parms = {}
lRC = <no value>
libfunc = <no value>
lFuncDef = {3220504576,{67'C',108'l',111'o',115's',101'e',67'C',108'l',
105'i',112'p',98'b',111'o',97'a',114'r',100'd'},{}}
linked = <no value>
...(and a lot more!)
It's probably similar to what I got when I guessed that I might need to use
the xClose function.

Derek,
Oops me too, I should have seen that, I was looking in Win32Lib at where it
was!
Thanks,
