Hey all,

I have a problem where I need to manipulate the data that is about to be put
into the clipboard after pressing CTRL+C - but I am unable to find anything
on the net outlining how to go about this... I know about GetData and
SetData - but am unable to fully TRAP the data being copied BEFORE it hits
the Clipboard so I can edit it...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Brendon

There is a clipboard object, where you can use SetData to write to it.
Why not trap ^C and then write.

not seeing the message as handled yet
