GetClipboardData Dll

[DarkenRahl]

I'm still trying Dll's in autoit.. This time the GetClipboardData function. I wrote a code an am wondering if its the ideal way to get clipboard data.. I hear that messing with pointers can cause programmes to malfunction. I know autoit has a more simplier way with the clipget() function but just trying to learn dll in autoit...

;//Open Clipboard for data reading
$clipboardopen = DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "OpenClipboard", "HWND", Null)

If $clipboardopen[0] <> 0 Then

;//Get Clipboard data.. $clipbaordget returns a pointer
$clipboardget = DllCall("User32.dll", "handle", "GetClipboardData", "UINT", 1)

;//We create struct with pointer of $clipboardget
$struct = DllStructCreate("struct;char var1[128];endstruct", $clipboardget[0])

;//We get the data of the pointer with structgetdata
$results = DllStructGetData($struct, "var1")

MsgBox(64, "Struct Pointer", $results)


EndIf

yes. But You need to get correct SIZE. Also check formats to corrent handle structure.

But Basically check for right size.

Local $iSize=DllCall("Kernel32.dll","ULONG_PTR","GlobalSize","handle",$clipboardget[0])[0]

of course handle error etc. (my code above is not safe)

Then check type for example if you use format for get unicode text you must use a dllstructure wchar to easy see uncode text etc...
