The add-to-clip-board code we have in our code base is quite low-level - allocating global memory and so on. For the simple case I just want to put some plain text on the clipboard, are there any routines which can wrap all that stuff?
An example is that CRichEditCtrl has Copy() & Cut() methods which automatically put the current selection on the clipboard. Does MFC make this kind of functionality available in isolation?
Update: Created a new question based on mwigdahl's response
No, but it's not that hard to wrap it yourself. Adapted from Frost Code (and untested):
void SetClipboardText(CString & szData)
{
HGLOBAL h;
LPTSTR arr;
h=GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, szData.GetLength()+1);
arr=(LPTSTR)GlobalLock(h);
strcpy_s((char*)arr, szData.GetLength()+1, szData.GetBuffer());
szData.ReleaseBuffer();
GlobalUnlock(h);
::OpenClipboard (NULL);
EmptyClipboard();
SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, h);
CloseClipboard();
}
