copy and paste in program

[Joel Christensen]

Thanks so much Jimmy. You put in a bit of effort. :-)

I just added this code to my general library:

 >>
extern(Windows) {
    bool OpenClipboard(void*);
    void* GetClipboardData(uint);
    void* SetClipboardData(uint, void*);
    bool EmptyClipboard();
    bool CloseClipboard();
    void* GlobalAlloc(uint, size_t);
    void* GlobalLock(void*);
    bool GlobalUnlock(void*);
}

string getTextClipBoard() {
    if (OpenClipboard(null)) {
	   scope( exit ) CloseClipboard();
        auto cstr = cast(char*)GetClipboardData( 1 );
        if(cstr)
            return cstr[0..strlen(cstr)].idup;
	}
	return null;
}

string setTextClipboard( string mystr ) {
	if (OpenClipboard(null)) {
		scope( exit ) CloseClipboard();
		EmptyClipboard();
		void* handle = GlobalAlloc(2, mystr.length + 1);
		void* ptr = GlobalLock(handle);
		memcpy(ptr, toStringz(mystr), mystr.length + 1);
		GlobalUnlock(handle);

		SetClipboardData( 1, handle);
	}
	return mystr;
}
