Hi Guys,
My only limitation at the moment is I do not use the visual basic or C
library yet. I should for all these issues I could easily write all this for
you. I think I should stop being lazy and do this for it would be easy to
do.
All you have to do is go to the site for the clipboard for windows and
it gives you all the different properties for types, types which mean what
you have copied or cut into the clipboard. There in that list you are able
to go into the files collection if you have copied or cut file names into
the Clipboard. Once there you can extract those file names instead of being
forced to use them as is, moving a file.
This is the way around the issue inside the clipboard and the only way
around it. For using the standard command and methods and such it is fixed
in copying or moving files is all you can do and nothing more than that. You
have to get to the collection list itself and work from there. It tells you
how to do that and all you have to do is write the code for it.
I just have not loaded a standard Visual Basic or C library yet and
probably should then all these questions everyone has I could resolve easily
over-night.
Take care,
Bruce
