pasting in blitz

hqas anyone found a way of copying text from another prog, and pasting it in blitz?

Is it just text you want pasted?

You should be able to make some user32.dll decls and go from there. Or maybe stuff it in a user lib. Quite simple in win32 according to this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/dataexchange/clipboard/clipboardformats.asp

The relevant code is here:

if (!IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_TEXT)) 
            return; 
        if (!OpenClipboard(hwndMain)) 
            return; 
 
        HGLOBAL  hglb = GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT); 
        if (hglb != NULL) 
        { 
            lptstr = GlobalLock(hglb); 
            if (lptstr != NULL) 
            { 
                // lptstr now contains your string
            } 
        } 
        CloseClipboard(); 

ill take a look, thx

Try the BlitzSys dll in the tools section - does it beautifully.

This might be what you're after...
