I needed these today but GetClipboardData() and SetClipboardData() have been silently removed! They were added in v3.00 (http://www.purebasic.com/news22.php) so when did they go? The history in the help manual doesn't say, and they're no longer in the manual either:

Please put them back. My old source is now broken without them.

They were taken out in v4.00.

Damn, why? It's not even mentioned: http://www.purebasic.com/news48.php

Maybe they were affected as part of this:

- Updated: Many library commands

These commands only worked with images anyway, but were not very convenient at that (GetClipboardData() only returned an ImageID, not a real PB image). So they were renamed to Get/SetClipboardImage() and improved to better integrate with the rest of PB.

These commands were only very thin API wrappers, so at least for windows, they should be easy to replicate with API directly: https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/librar ... 49051.aspx

Thanks for the explanation, freak. I see Rashad has responded to another post of mine about it, so I think all will be well.
