Probably, but here or a number of the other groups you have multi-posted
(don't do that!) to is not the place to ask.

Ask on a windows group.

Lots of people here can answer your question, but none of them will.
Wait and see the responses you get if you don't believe me.

(Jacob Navia is the only one able and willing to answer Windows
questions, and he seems to be taking a break from the feverish idiocy of
clc at the moment.)

However, the first result in this search looks like it will lead quickly
to the answer:

Try something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

char* pastetext(void) {
HWND hwnd=0;
HWND htext;
char *p, *q;
int size;

if (OpenClipboard( hwnd)==0) return NULL;

htext=GetClipbo ardData(CF_TEXT );

if (htext==0) return NULL;

size=GlobalSize (htext);

q=malloc(size);
if (q==NULL) return NULL;

p=GlobalLock(ht ext);
memcpy(q,p,size );
GlobalUnlock(ht ext);

CloseClipboard( );
return q;
}

int main(void) {
char *text;

text=pastetext( );

if (text!=NULL) {
printf("Clipboa rd text = <%s>\n",text) ;
free(text);
}

}

Notes: windows.h means this is not portable C. But if you're using Winxp
anyway... And I don't know if GlobalLock etc are still needed these days;
better check at MSDN or in gdi32 newsgroup.

Try something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

<windows.hdoe s not exist in standard C systems. Thus this is
non-portable and off-topic here.

<windows.hdoe s exist in some standard C systems.

Yes, it's off-topic, but off-topic doesn't mean it only exists in other
people's dream worlds. It's real.

The clipboard supports several formats. You can retrieve images, text,
or many other types of data. Let’s see how to retrieve the most simple
one: text.
// This function will retrieve the text from the clipboard
// if available. Returns the retrieved text or NULL if an
// error occurs.
// The user should free the text with the free() function when it is
// done with it.
char *ImportClipboar d(HWND hwnd)
{
HANDLE hClipData;
char *str = NULL;
char * result = NULL;
result = 0;
if (IsClipboardFor matAvailable(CF _TEXT)) {
if (OpenClipboard( hwnd)) {
hClipData = GetClipboardDat a(CF_TEXT);
if (hClipData) {
str = GlobalLock(hCli pData);
result = strdup(str);
GlobalUnlock(hC lipData);
}
}
CloseClipboard( );
}
return (result);
}

Yes, I am getting tired of this group. But I answered the OP, see
my reply in this thread.
