Get text fromn the MS Windows clipboard. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Syntax
GT_CBCopy() --> cText
Arguments:
None.
Returns:
The text contents of the Windows clipboard if there is any text there, or an empty string if there was an error or there was no text in the clipboard.
Description:
GT_CBCopy() can be used to retrieve text from the Windows clipboard when your application is running in a DOS window.
If for any reason the function is unable to locate any text in the clipboard the function will return an empty string. For the function to fail to copy from the clipboard one of the following has to happen:
a) The application is not running under MS Windows. b) The DOS paste service is not available. c) The clipboard could not be opened.
I have only been able to test this function under WFWG 3.11, you may also want to note that changes will have to be made before this function will work in protected mode.
Examples:
// Attempt to grab some text from the clipboard and display it.
If GT_IsWin() ? "The content is '" + GT_CBCopy() + "'" Else ? "You are not running under Windows" EndIf
