Clipboard with Files

[sc4ry 0]

Hey,

i did a little app which gets all text data from clipboard an put that into a listview, where you can easyly get this back,when you need it again.

the next step is, that, when user put a file into the clipboard, this should also be shown with name (and maybe) path in the listview and when you click this, this file will be in clipboard again.

when this ist not possible, at least filename and path should be in clipboard.

is that possible?

Try the example scripts for all the _Clipboard* functions in the help file to get a feel for what you do with the various formats.

I have an example (most is from DragDrop ): But only copy works. cut/shortcut don't work.

//Edit: get files from Clipboard works like WM_DROPFILES for DragDrop http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=90831&hl=

(get data from clipboardformat $CF_HDROP and use the same funcs as in WM_DROPFILES to get the files.)

Searched for ages for something like this, great work ... found you're addition on the German board about file moving and added it to this example. Use

$DROPEFFECT = _CreatePREFERREDDROPEFFECT($DROPEFFECT_COPY) to copy and

$DROPEFFECT = _CreatePREFERREDDROPEFFECT($DROPEFFECT_MOVE) to move files.
