Clipput clear/read buffer

[boji]

Any one see a problem arising from using this?

Perhaps a better way?

CODE

Func clearclip()

Clipput("") ;clear clipboard

If not ClipGet() = "" Then

Do

Sleep(10)

Clipput("")

Until Clipget() = ""

EndIf

EndFunc

Func clearclip()
Clipput("");clear clipboard
If not ClipGet() = "" Then 
Do
Sleep(10)
Clipput("")
Until Clipget() = "" 
EndIf
EndFunc

Perhaps like this?

#include <ClipBoard.au3>

_ClipBoard_Open(0)
_ClipBoard_Empty()
_ClipBoard_Close()

[MyName]

Try

Func _ClipEmpty()
    Local $Success = 0
    DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'OpenClipboard', 'hwnd', 0)
    IF @error = 0 THEN
        DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'EmptyClipboard')
        IF @error = 0 THEN $Success = 1
        DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'CloseClipboard')
        IF $Success THEN Return 1
    ENDIF
    DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'CloseClipboard')
    Return 0
EndFunc

Thanks guys.

May I ask a question about these two excellent responses then:

So Psalty's way is to use autoit's clipboard as opposed to windows, right? bypass the whole thing by not calling the api?

And MyName's response works with the underlying .dll behind windows clipboard?

Man I have so much to learn...

Put my code in SciTE, put the cursor on one of the functions, and hit CTRL-j.

If you open the ClipBoard.au3 file and look at those UDFs, you'll find they use exactly the DLL calls that MyName used. The point of the UDF is to be able to do that easily in AutoIT syntax. AutoIt still has to use the same Windows APIs every other program does, it can just be hidden behind a simplified wrapper.

Excellent! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!

Did you just give me the red pill Morpheus?

I'm not sure. "Is this real...?"
