File copy on ActiveX using menu on right mouse cli (General questions)

by Chris @, (7712 days ago)

When I download a file using right mouse click and Copy option, I know it copies the file to the clipboard as a string but would it not be possible to have the file copy to clipboard as a file so we can right click and paste in windows explorer? [:uhoh:]

Chris,

hmm, interesting idea. But that's not easy to implement when you live in component world. This sounds similar to drag&drop to explorer which would perform simple copy, but I recall implementing IDropTarget is required for this as a static library loaded by Explorer at all times - and this goes out of component world.

But let me consider how easy/hard would be to add what you suggest, I'll get back to you.

Thanks for the idea!
