Copy, Cut and Paste

[CDRAIN]

I need to implement Copy,Cut & Paste to and from Windows Clipboard functionality on my C++ App, I see on web that I need to use functions: BOOL SetClipboardText(LPCTSTR pszText) int GetClipboardText(LPTSTR pszBuf, int nLength) but I can I get the selected text of a textbox or a selected object? Thanks

See How to Implement Drag and Drop Between Your Program and Explorer[^] but I dont think you need to this article see ClipSpy[^] and http://www.codeproject.com/clipboard/archerclipboard1.asp[^] does helpful?

If you are using MFC, use CEdit::Copy(), CEdit::Paste(). But I'm still wondering where have you found SetClipboardText(). There is no such windows API

For edit controls, this is "on" by default.

Are you looking for GetWindowText()?

Hi CDRAIN, try GetClipboardData and SetClipboardData functions. Maybe this is what you're looking for. cheers!
