Hi, any ideas how I would go about popping something generic into the clipboard? I'm assuming CTRL-C will work but how about using 'Copy' from a menu. And what about popping graphics into the clipboard (getDataObject?).

I need to copy womthing from within B+ that another app can paste.

Cheers!

Cool, tks DarkEagle.

I never read the userlib section. I will from now on.

Ahh, the link give a 404 error. I'll mail the geezer who wrote it.

But I can't help feeling that a native B+ command would be nice, eh Mark :-)

Hi StrangeLoop,

As you can read from my post I can get text copying 'from Blitz to clipboard' but not the other way round!

From the example you can use:

WriteClipboardText "Send me to the clipboard"

and check with notepad that the text has gone there.

Thanks Syntax.

What I am starting to understand about B+ is that not everything is included. But the mechanics are there to allow us to hack something together. I like that.

I was just trying to do a right click menu and there's no nice B+ command but I now that the tools are their for me to do it.

I love B3D and now I love B+.
