ClipManagerX
Ciansoft ClipManagerX is an ActiveX control designed to simplify and enhance the use of the Windows clipboard in your application. It has the following main features:
- collects and stores data copied to the Windows clipboard.
- retains data for future use (you are no longer restricted to pasting only the last item copied to the clipboard).
- can be configured to collect all data formats, or just a chosen list of formats.
Typical uses of ClipManagerX include:
- providing the user of your application with a list of items for pasting, e.g., a listbox containing clips of text, or a selection of images.
- implementing a 'Paste Special' menu item which allows the format of clipboard entries to be chosen.
As an ActiveX control, ClipManagerX is simply dropped onto a form in your chosen programming environment. After activating it in code, everything copied to the Windows clipboard from any application will be collected, provided it is in one of the clipboard formats you have chosen to use.
ClipManagerX is fully compatible with Windows Vista. Further information available here about using this control in Vista.
ClipManagerX can be used in a variety of programming environments, e.g., Visual Basic, Delphi, etc. A sample application which collects multiple images from the clipboard is available using either VB or Delphi.
It can also be used with Microsoft Office products using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). An example of its use with Microsoft Word is available here. This example shows how to add a multiple copy/paste dialog to Word using ClipManagerX and a few short VBA procedures.
