Hi,
I'm looking for a way to Copy and Paste Files to the clipboard.
I found a lot of articles to copy pieces of text and bitmaps etc, but nog
whole files.
Whay I need is like you have in windows explorer: when you do a right-click
on a file and choose Copy, and than paste it somewhere in my application and
vice versa.
Anybody knows how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Pieter

The following code can be used to place file data on the clipboard (it will
not just be the name, nor will it be
the contents of the file). The "DataFormats" parameter controls how other
applications deal with the
clipboard data. The file(s) to be copied must be placed on the clipboard as
an array of strings...
(VB.NET)
Dim DataObject As New DataObject()
Dim file(0) As String
file(0) = "C:\Test.txt"
DataObject.SetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, True, file)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(DataObject)

Hi DraguVaso,
When drag-and-drop or copies files to the clipboard windows explorer doesn't
drag or copy the entire file to the clipboard. It just move a structure of
data called DROPFILES which carry path names of the files you want to move
or copy as well as flag whether these strings are in UNICODE or ANSI and the
point on the screen where the drag begun. The clipboard uses the same
structure but the point field is not used.
However thanks to the .net framework and DataObject class placing that
structure in the clipboard is as easy as creating array of strings, puting
the array in a data object and put the data object in the clipboard.
the following is a code that do this:
Clipboard.SetDataObject(new DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, new
string[]{"C:\\Temp\\TestFile.txt"}));
