From: Jürgen Knauf on 16 Jul 2008 05:14 Hi, I want to copy a text into the clipboard, as a formated and as unformated text. How can I copy the text to the clipboard without clearing the old content? Juergen
From: Geoff Schaller on 16 Jul 2008 06:27 Jurgen, The simplest way is to retrieve the current string, append to the string, separate items with a CRLF and put it back. oClipboard:RetreiveString() oCLipboard:Insert() Internally this is GetClipboarddata(1) but you can use the SDK code here to manipulate the contents. There are quite a few C# apps that go more into the API and it is a lot easier with Dot Net classes of course. See the API sdk for further info. Look at SetClipboardData() for the different formats possible.

From: Jürgen Knauf on 16 Jul 2008 07:03 Hi Geoff, do i get then two different Clipboard entries. Thats want I want: I want to put a formated and unformated text to the clipboard, so that this texts can be pasted intto MS Word and into other Windowsprograms , which do only support plain text. When I only put RTF-formated text into Clipboard, I can only paste it into MS Word and Outlook, but not in notpad other applications.

From: Geoff Schaller on 16 Jul 2008 07:27 No, there is only one format at once. The applications that have multiple clipboards are actually managing that themselves but as far as an external application is concerned, there is only one format and it needs to know how to retrieve the data. You tell the receiving app that by setting the data content type.

But how does Word manage the clipboard? When I copy a RTF text snippet in MS Word into the clipboard, i can paste it to every windows programm. When I copy a RTF text snippet from my VO-App into the clipboard, I can only paste it to windows programms that support RTF-Text. Somebody told me, that Word puts different formated copies of the text into the clipboard, so that the windows program in which I want to paste the clipboard, takes only the supported copy.
