Copy files to Clipboard and insert files from Clipboard?

[ts-soft]

I have only found this: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 706#216706 from sparkie, but i require this for
more than one file and for insert files from clipboard. Can anybody help me?

Greetings

Here's a quick try that appears to work on XP.

Code: Select all

Procedure CopyFile2ClipBoard(*files) 
  clipFile = 0 
  If OpenClipboard_(0) 
    EmptyClipboard_() 
    hGlobal = GlobalAlloc_(#GHND, SizeOf(DROPFILES) + MemorySize(*files)) 
    If hGlobal 
      *lpGlobal.DROPFILES = GlobalLock_(hGlobal) 
      ZeroMemory_(*lpGlobal, SizeOf(DROPFILES)) 
      *lpGlobal\pFiles = SizeOf(DROPFILES) 
      *lpGlobal\fWide = 0 ; 1 = Unicode
      *lpGlobal\fNC = 0 
      *lpGlobal\pt\x = 0 
      *lpGlobal\pt\y = 0 
      CopyMemory_((*lpGlobal + SizeOf(DROPFILES)), *files, MemorySize(*files)) 
      GlobalUnlock_(hGlobal) 
      If SetClipboardData_(#CF_HDROP, hGlobal) 
        clipFile = #True 
      EndIf 
    EndIf 
    CloseClipboard_() 
  EndIf 
  ProcedureReturn clipFile 
EndProcedure 

;- each file in the list must be separarted by a single null char
;- and double null chars at the end of the file list
*temp = AllocateMemory(4096)
file2copy.s = OpenFileRequester("Select file to copy to the ClipBoard", "", "All files|*.*", 0, #PB_Requester_MultiSelection)  
If file2copy
  PokeS(*temp, file2copy, Len(file2copy))
  nextFile = Len(file2copy) + 1
  memSize = nextFile
  While file2copy
    file2copy = NextSelectedFileName()
    PokeS(*temp + nextFile, file2copy, Len(file2copy))
    nextFile + Len(file2copy) + 1
    memSize = nextFile 
  Wend
EndIf
PokeB(*temp + memSize + 1, 0)
*allfiles = AllocateMemory(memSize + 1)
CopyMemory(*temp, *allfiles, MemorySize(*allfiles))
FreeMemory(*temp)
CopyFile2ClipBoard(*allfiles)

I'm at work right now but I'll see what I can do when I get home later tonight.
