After release of euphoria 2.0 I wrote winclip.ew which is a wrapper for clipboard API. The interface is small if it doesn't include DDE. DDE (dynamic data exchange) is one of the techniques to transfert information betwin windows applications and it use the clipboard. I don't know "Bullet proof FTP" mentionned by Daniel but it may use DDE, if not it's should use a timer to poll the clipboard at some interval. The advantage of DDE is that your application doesn't have to poll the clipboard. It register as a DDE client for the kind of data it want and it is automatically informed when the clipboard containt that kind of data. I attach winclip.ew with this message but this first version doesn't include DDE wrappers. Regards, --=====================_900478957==_
