Yes it does but you have to know that in advance. To do that perhaps you
can use the object model for Word or look up its API. So yes you can do
this but you will have to look up the format. And then, only Word will
read it. Paste it into notepad and what so you get? The trouble is the
format. VO takes the very simplest approach. You need a much more
sophisticated clipboard class. It was like what I said in my first post.
You can get this in C# where it is much, much easier. Just type
clipboard formats c# into google and you will see what I mean.

If you want to know how to maintain multiple clipboard formats, go to
this site:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/clipboard01.aspx

But this will give you severe depression when you find out how easy this
is in Dot Net compared with VO. Perhaps the simple way out is to create
a Class in C# and call it from your VO app? There are dozens of sites
like this and many given you the info based on Dot net framework
classes. Have fun.

I was just courious and read just now.
For what i read you can do it quite easily (but may be it doesnt work, never
used it)

1) open the GUI sdk ClipBoard class
2) based on method InsertRTF() and Insert(), make your own one called ie
InsertRTFAndText()
3) copy the stuff from both method InsertRTF() and Insert()
4) make sure you just call once at the beginning EmptyClipboard()

If I well understood, you can put different data in the clipboard and
retrieve them based on the kind of data you need (windows also provide
conversion)

let me know if it works (hope not to hang the pc <g>)

Hi J�rgen,

In the clipboard there are 2 different types you can insert with VO:
1) a text string
2) a bitmap

If you insert a text the Bitmap will not be deleted and vice versa if
you insert a bitmap the text will not be deleted.
There is no additionnal type to insert with VO.
So you have to implement your own function to retrieve your text (see
Geoff's reply).

according to the help:
ClipBoard:Insert() Method

Purpose
Insert text or a bitmap into the clipboard.

Syntax
<oClipBoard>:Insert(<cText> | <oBitmap>) ---> NIL

Arguments

<cText> | <oBitmap> The text or bitmap to insert in the
clipboard.

Description

If you insert text, any text already in the clipboard is
overwritten. However, text and bitmaps in the clipboard do not share
the same space. If you insert a bitmap, no existing text is deleted;
if you insert text, no existing bitmap is deleted.

Allesandro,

the problem is, you can only add additional formats to the clipboard but no
data.
I need a convertion in the clipboard from the rtf format to plain text.

I have tried to change the SDK method "InsertRtf()" of the clipboard class
and have added addional formats.
But it doesn't work.
##########
METHOD InsertRtf(cText) CLASS MyClipboard
STATIC LOCAL dwId AS DWORD
LOCAL hText AS PTR
LOCAL pPTR AS PTR
LOCAL dwLen AS DWORD

// Get Clipboard format id for RTF.
IF dwId == 0
dwId := RegisterClipboardFormat(PSZ("Rich Text Format"))
ENDIF

IF IsString(cText) .AND. dwId > 0
// Allocate global memory for transfer...
dwLen := SLen(cText)
hText := GlobalAlloc(_OR(GMEM_MOVEABLE,GMEM_DDESHARE), dwLen+1)

// Put our string in the global memory...
pPTR := GlobalLock(hText)

IF ! OpenClipboard(NULL_PTR) .OR. (PTR(_CAST,pPTR) == NULL_PTR)
GlobalFree(hText)
RETURN SELF
ENDIF


EmptyClipboard()
MemCopyString(pPTR,cText,dwLen)
GlobalUnlock(hText)

SetClipboardData(dwId, hText) //RTF
SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText)
SetClipboardData(CF_OEMTEXT, hText)
...
...

Thats why I suggested to use the SDK.
With ordinary function you can not
But with API yes
