Outlook clipboard object

[David De Bono]

Hi,

I have searched all over for an answer to this.

I want to save or read the Outlook clipboard object. Meaning if you copy
mail items to the clipboard and want to paste them.

If you paste the mail items in Windows Explorer they are saved as files, and
that could be good enough for me if I find a way to save them.

I have examined the clipboard data, but I dont figure it out. Have no
problems with other clipboard data.

I'm programming in VB6, and using API is no problem.

Don't forget the clipboard can (and does) store the same data in several
formats at once, you will probably need to inerate through them all to get
the format that you want.

Selecting a message in outlook and then pressing control C, the clipboard
has data in these formats:

DataObject
Object Descriptor
Ole Private Data
FileContents
FileGroupDescriptor
RenPrivateMessages
RenPrivateSourceFolder
Text
OEM Text
Unicode Text
Locale Identifier

Regards
Dave.

Yepp, thats true.

But none of these contain the info I need.Also if you look at these fields,
none of those has the amout of info that is needed. The amount of data is to
small.

Alle over people are trying to find out this. If you search the internet
everyone is frustrated about the lact of this info.
