Thanks, Jochen. You've been most helpful:)

Thanks, Jochen. Yes, it could be a password, login data, or a short text stored in an encrypted way. While inside, it may be considered safe, and I just wanted to make sure that when it "goes out" it is also safe as much as possible. Turns out, in reality this is not so much possible...-?

Can you be more specific which way to explore? Target application being a web browser, MS Office program, Notepad, any standard commercial software...

So what would you recommend as safest way to transfer text strings/data between applications, when the destination is a third party app?

This is not useful to me. I am after ability to transfer strings into ordinary third party programs that I have no control about.

How safe from logging is drag-and-drop? I haven't heard of drag-and-drop loggers while any clipboard manager is essentially a functional clipboard logger...

Apart from clipboard, is there any other reliable way to transfer text string(s) between apps without the risk of them being logged by other apps?

Thanks Jochen. You seem to get my point and seem knowledgable about clipboard mechanism. So to sum it up - is there a workaround to make this work? I am after pasting from clipboard some text that for a few seconds should not be retrievable from clipboard by other apps. Can this be done?

Thanks. I do not want to block the clipboard. It is not about preventing applications accessing clipboard. I am aware that this is not possible. But if I get it correct, changed clipboard sends message to other apps informing them about the change. What I'm after is temporarily interrupting this message chain so that other apps will not notice the changed clipboard contents. But this contents will still be there and accessible on paste action - both by menu right-click as well as keyboard shortcut.

The code I presented worked well in Win XP and I think also in Win 7, but fails to work in Win 10. So I'm seeking a skilled Delphi expert to advise on possible workaround in the latest Windows environment. Any workable sample of using Sockets for this purpose?
