Copy file to Clipboard, like Explorer in win32

ldln has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I've been searching high and low for some tool/example of how we can copy file to clipboard like explorer does, so that it can be pasted out again.

I've seen in demonstrated in VB, Delphi, C# and *almost* in perl here, but its not quite working.

My win32 API understanding is very weak. Do any of the mighty monks here have any chance of getting this to work?

A quick Super Search for "clipboard" showed that BrowserUK helped Ace128 do just that over here. It doesn't look like fun, but I think it will do what you want. Cheers, Brent -- Yeah, I'm a Delt.	[reply]

Many thanks for that link and MANY THANKS to BrowserUk for that code and tutorial. It works very nicely what he describes here. Btw. How would we proceed if we wanted to do something like this from C# or Delphi (to get it to work with perl, I mean)?	[reply]
