arian8j2 / clipboardxx Goto Github PK

Does not compile with bcc32..

Whenever I try to copy text to the clipboard using this, it gives errors about it being 'not a class or namespace name' and 'clipboard undeclared identifier' and such and have no idea how to fix this. Am I using it wrong or is it to do with the header file its self?

This is how I'm doing it:

Errors:

Version 0.4
When there are more than 1 copy command in my program, the error below appears at the 2nd copy command:

(I am really sorry for the "screenshot", I cannot access the clipboard for screenshotting when the program is debugging)

Here is a simple code that replicates my problem:

#include <iostream>
#include "clipboardxx.hpp"

int main()
{
    clipboardxx::clipboard clipboard;
    std::string string;

    std::cin >> string;
    clipboard << string;
    std::cin >> string;
    clipboard << string;
}

Please do let me know if you need any more information to follow this up. Thank you in advance.

Hey,
at the beginning, I would like to mention that I'm a beginner programmer, that is my first activity on Github and so I ask for leniency.
So I tried to use your library in my program and whenever I copy something for the second time I get a critical error (c0000374) in line 279 (SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, global);). Moreover, there is a warning (C28183).
I think that the clipboard is not "closing/deleting/empty/...." itself and that is why the program cannot rerun the copy function.

• In my program, I added clipboardxx::clipboard clp; at the beginning of the main function,

• then used overflown operator << in a switch (users choice of action) in a while (menu with actions) loop (clp << password;)

Thank you in advance for your reply.

strncpy() now returns an unsafe error when compiling in VS2019. Error says change to strncpy_s();

See the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setclipboarddata

Also, you might want to do some error checking on the other API calls. There are some nice LastError to std::exception wrappers available as well.
