Web sites you visit can retrieve data from your clipboard depending on
your security settings. Go to this page ( www.clipboard.googlemyway.com)

Opera you probably won't see anything. However, if you are using
Internet Explorer then chances are that whatever you last copied into
your clipboard will be displayed. 2  1841

That's a pretty misleading subject line.
It should probably read, "If you use Internet Explorer and aren't
careful about your security settings, your data is not secure",
and that shouldn't really be news to anybody.

1) This is way, way, way old news.
2) It only affects IE, and only if you have your security settings setup to
allow it
3) It's stupid (IMO) for IE to allow this by default
I once setup a hidden iframe on a page of mine to capture clipboard contents
and save them to my server, without the user ever knowing. I was amazed at
how much conidential information I obtained, including personal emails, urls
(some with embedded logins and passwords), chat transcripts, etc.
I stopped after a while (the 'experiment' got old) but it was enlightening.

I have a menu item to handle clipboard actions (cut, copy, paste).
When I paste text that I copied from a Hungarian web page, the display
looks normal on my RichTextBox, but the text retrieved from the
clipboard is corrupted. For example, a U with double accent ( byte
code x'FB' ) is replaced by a question mark in my txtEdit.Text after a
Paste operation.
It seems that the Clipboard.GetText() is changing the data.

Could develop web pages that would interact with the access/jet database

One of Access' competitors (Filemaker Pro as I recall) touts its EASY

Hi everyone,
I have created my first real life application, that runs in the system tray
and monitors changes to the clipboard, then depending on the content it may
search our stock file and display the current stock situation in a balloon
(using balloontiptext).
I now want to add extra functionality to my program by making it read text
from any other application without the user having to copy text to the
clipboard.

Guess I'm looking for someone who likes to work difficult puzzles.
I can't seem to ever retrieve a palette handle from the clipboard.
Below is a simple test program that demonstrates the problem.
The program uses windows api to get a handle to a palette from the
clipboard.
The palette needs to be put there by another program - maybe Photoshop.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
