When a user in windows selects some files and copies them (so he can paste them somewhere else) how could ab application get those files that are placed in clipboard?
I tried GetClipboardData() API but I couldn't get any such info out of it. How could I get the files placed in clipboard, please?
Thanks in advance

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I read the link you'd posted, but it described how to use the getClipboardData() API (and other functions necessary for getting data from clipboard).
As a matter of fact, I had myself used this function but, it does not return anything when the user (from out of the application) places some files on the clipboard.
I am writing a program that is going to copy files and folders with much more options that windows provides us with. But now I need to have access to files copied into clipboard, to be able to paste them somewhere else using my own program.
I'd be glad if some one could help me with that.
Thanks again

hi
first thank you for your consideration.
I checked all the four links, you know, in fact the one in vb.net, exactly does the same as the GetClipboardData() API. I compiled it. it worked when the clipboard data was text, bitma or any other available clipboard format.
but when I select a file (in windows explorer) and copy it to clipboard using Ctrl+C, it does not return anything.
but about other 3 links:
In fact they perform file/folder operations. my program already does the copying and works quite fine in copying files and folders. but I want to add another functionality to my program that could get the files copied in clipboard (as described) and when the user, on the destination folder presses "Paste here using my app" it starts copying them to the destination folder.
Hope I had been enough clear.

Hi,
I am using VB6 and I want to know how could I shutdown the computer from my program while not run as an administrator.
I used the file "shutdown.exe" in windows XP to shutdown while run as an administrator. how if there are no administrator privillages?
Thanks

don't cross post like that.
your question is VB relative, so the VB forum was the right place.
if you have no answers, it is because either no one knows the answer or you did not formulate you question correctly, or clear enough...
but i doubt you have been waiting enough time before posting here because you asked it only 1 minute later... 
cheers,

That's not that much of cross post, since I knew that the answer is not related to VB itself.
The answer was one windows API called "InitiateSystemShutdown" which could be used in any language,couldn't it?
By the way, I had also posted this on the VB forum and I got the answer from that forum.

If your knowledges go beyond VB (a thing I wish you!  ), you can find a sample on how to shutdown a PC in these C++ sources[^], which deal with the different ways to shutdown Win9x and NT-based OS.

This message should be post in VB/VB.Net forum. But don't worry, I still give you the answer. Let check the information from here[^]. The below of the article there are additional link to reboot and logoff the computer from vb6.
Good luck

Errr...wrong place to post VB question , but whatever.. Check the allapi network, although it says "we're closed" and stuff, you can still download api-guide and api viewer, two fine apps, very usefull for VB6 programming.
http://www.mentalis.org/index2.shtml[^]
If my memory still works, they already have several shutdown examples somewhere in there..
Good luck!

Hi. Is there a way to block a windows session in XP home edition? There is this option in Windows 2000, when you press ctrl+alt+del. For example, at some point i want to go awas from my computer, but to block the sesion, so that i have to retype the password then. This happends with the screensaver, but i want to activate immediatelly. Hope you will understand my question.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, there is this option in Windows 2000, but not in XP Home edition. And i wanna do this in XP Home Edition.

In Control Panel you can find "User Accounts" and click "Change the way users log on or off". (Its above pictures) Then Disable "use the Welcome screen"
I have tried in WinXP Pro and it works. Please tell me if this works.

|
Yes, it works. Thank you!

I never use windows xp home edition. But I found that article[^] also apply to windows xp home edition. Try to use it and make a modification to your system. Let me know if it is success or not.

What OS?
If it's WinXP, then manage your computer and 'Disk Management'. Older OS' vary, and don't even ask about linux...
If at an API level, and it's NT,W2K or XP, there are IOCTL functions to do it (I've done it for CF cards, for example).
If you want to resize partitions, you need partition manager software, like Partition Magic or similar.

OS is supporting:
Windows NT/2000/XP: NTFS, FAT, FAT32
Windows 98/ME: FAT, FAT32
Windows 95 SP2: FAT, FAT32 (I think it is SP2 or SE)
Windows 95: FAT
DOS: Don't go there:
Windows NT/2000/XP:
If you start instalation from cd at boot, then you will come up to manage partition. you have "Disk Managment" under administration tools.
Windows 95/98/ME: All these windows still support dos, so you can use FDISK command. NOTE: On windows ME, you have to boot to dos with system disk or boot cd. Thats the only way to boot dos.
Partition type Limitation:
NTFS: Only NT base windows can access.
FAT: Only up to 2GB for single partition.
FAT32: This partition doesn't support a single file larger than 4GB
Linux: There are a lot of distribution and there are a few partition standart. While installing linux, setup will resize your partition and create two other:
1- EXT, EXT2 or RESIZER (Linux support all this partition and every distribution has its ovn default partiton)
2- Swap (This partiton will be used for Virtual Memory)
Partition Manager is great tool for creating partition.
If you use partition manager or any other advance manager then note this:
The first partition must be primary. All other must be secondary.
If you want any more information and if you have manager like Partiton Manager, then look for their Help.
ps: I hope this works

1. Read this article[^] if you are using windows NT/2000/XP Pro.
2. Read this article[^] if you are using windows 9X/ME.

Hi, I am having problem understand two performance counters found in Windows Task Manager:
1. PF Usage: Howevers stable around 670 MB (is it measured in per sec? That every sec there's 670MB worth of information being paged to swap file? where is the swap file anyway?)
2. Physical Memory: Total: 1GB / Available: 450 MB / System Cache: 468 MB
QUESTION 1:
If it's constantly paging 670MB? Then why is there so much "Available Memory" sitting around not being used??
QUESTION 2:
What's the ideal/desirable/normal level for:
a. PF Usage
b. Available memory?
What I find confusing is, it says here (http://www.sql-server-performance.com/sql_server_performance_audit2.asp) that if you have 5MB+ of (Memory: Available Bytes) then you're fine... I have 400MB available MB on this 1GB system, and it's still paging 670MB...
QUESTION 3:
CPU usage hovers around 10% - does it mean I have a TOO-Powerful CPU? That I have more processing power than I actually need?
Thanks.
