Adding a simple GUI to display clipboard contents on desktop Topic is solved

[Xproplayer]

Hi all,

My clipboard changes very often and I'd like to be able to see whats in it. How easy would it be to write a simple permanent GUI that could stay on the desktop and display the current contents. If its not possible to use a hook / realtime update perhaps a 1 second polling rate could work? Just a spitball idea, feel free to point me in the right direction instead of sample / complete code if you please. Cheers

Code: Select all

Gui New, +AlwaysOnTop, Clip Viewer
Gui Add, Edit, w300 R10 ReadOnly +HWNDhEdit
Gui Show, AutoSize

OnClipboardChange("Update")

Update(type) {
	global hEdit

	if (type != 2)
		GuiControl Text, % hEdit, % Clipboard
}

GuiClose:
	ExitApp

OnClipboardChange("Update")

Update(type) {
	global hEdit

	if (type != 2)
		GuiControl Text, % hEdit, % Clipboard
}

GuiClose:
	ExitApp

This seems to auto close when opened. Also is it possible to make it non minimizeable and persist in tray instead of in taskbar?

yeah it autocloses. ive deleted the hotkey i used to test it with and forgot to add the #Persistent directive, so u can go ahead and do that
u can add the +ToolWindow option to the GUI to get rid of the taskbar icon

Hi Xproplayer,

These minor changes should address your concerns:

Code: Select all

Gui New, +AlwaysOnTop +Owner -MinimizeBox, Clip Viewer
Gui Add, Edit, w300 R10 ReadOnly +HWNDhEdit
Gui Show, AutoSize
OnClipboardChange("Update")
Return

Update(type) {
	global hEdit

	if (type != 2)
		GuiControl Text, % hEdit, % Clipboard
}

GuiClose:
	ExitApp

Cheers!
