I'm working on a project of mine which does the following (don't ask why... it's
for a game):
1. Grabs an HTML page
2. Parses it with RegExp to obtain specific data.
3. Writes the data to a file.

Now, I want to add a feature which automatically sets the clipboard to this specific data.  The data is stored as-- char[] data.  I've attached some "code" which tries to set data to the clipboard (function from "Matthew").  Yet, OpenClipboard isn't working right, so I assume HWND needs to be set properly. This leads to my question:  how do I get HWND set properly so this will work?

You can use NULL as HWND in clipboard functions.

See:
module  harmonia.ui.exchange.clipboard;
module  harmonia.ui.native.win32exchange;

The argument passed to OpenClipboard must be a handle of a window, not an application instance.  Since you have no window, just set it to null.

I've just realised the link I've given you is for Windows CE!  (Has anyone managed to build GDC on WinCE, FTM?)  Still, here's the regular Win32 version, which is the same in this respect....
