Dear Jason, I'd be happy not having to dig in deeply. Do you happen to know a "higher" level one? I really do not need more than the clipboard stuff, everything GUI-related I'm using wxHaskell for. Günther Am 30.04.10 01:54, schrieb Jason Dagit:

Hello,

is there some sample code on how to use the Graphics.Win32.GDI.Clip?

That part of the library is fairly low level and has a mostly one-to-one correspondence to the C API. This means that you should be able to more or less read an example of how to do it in C and just translate that to the functions you see in Graphics.Win32.GDI.Clip.

In other words, try this example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/clipboard/archerclipboard1.aspx

Now, on a stylistic note, I think most people who do Win32 programming avoid directly using GDI. It's older, low level, and sort of "primitive". So, usually you'd use a different library that wraps around GDI. At least, that seemed to be the case when I last looked for resources about GDI programming. Perhaps it doesn't apply universally (my example usage was with fonts).

As far as I can tell from google wxwidgets does have clipboard support. Perhaps wxHaskell can do it or needs to be extended?

I searched with Hayoo for clipboard wx and found Graphics.UI.WXCore.Controls.execClipBoardData [1]; following links, I found a set of clipboard functions [2].
