Why will this not compile?

[t57042]

Code: Select all

#include "minigui.ch"
//---------------------------------------------------------
Function Main()
a=System.Clipboard
 ? a
wait 
 Return

I want to read a string from the clipboard.
When compiling i get :unresolved external 'HB-FUN-RETRIEVETEXTFROMCLIPBOARD' link error

When I try to compile the demo program in the sample\basic\clipboard directory - same problems

For me this works fine. Which version you are using?

Code: Select all

#include "minigui.ch"
//---------------------------------------------------------
Function Main()
a=System.Clipboard
msginfo( a )
Return

[t57042]

Build 99 (HMG 1.9 Extended Edition) Published.

Windows 7

Oh.

In HMG Extended, these are the functions:

CopyToClipboard(cText) store cText in Windows clipboard

RetrieveTextFromClipboard() ->cText retrieve text from Windows clipboard

Function CopyRtfToClipboard(cRtfText) store cRTFText in Windows clipboard

IMO confusing is GUI / Console difference

How

#include <hmg.ch>

can be exist together ? and WAIT

Code: Select all

#include "minigui.ch"

//---------------------------------------------------------
Function Main()
a=RetrieveTextFromClipboard()
 ? a
wait 
 Return

still the same link error

[esgici]

still the same link error

"Together" meant "into same program"

If your program is a GUI application, extract ? and WAIT; if your program is a console application extract #include ...

And I guess RetrieveTextFromClipboard() too is a MiniGUI function, so in a console program it haven't place.

As a result, use MsgInfo() instead of ? and WAIT; f.e. try sample of Rathinagiri.

By the way, address of mail group of Minigui Extended is :http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/harbourminigui/

And address of mail group of Harbour (as mentioned early) is http://groups.google.com/group/harbour-users

Each mail group may be more useful to you for their individual field.

Hi Richard

When I try to compile the demo program in the sample\basic\clipboard directory - same problems

FYI :

C:\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\BASIC\CLIPBOARD\demo.prg ( of course, without any intervention / modification )

compiled via

C:\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\BASIC\CLIPBOARD\Compile.bat

and run without any problem.

Code: Select all

a=System.Clipboard

Isn't it that this statement will test for equality? The line is supposed to be: a := System.Clipboard

Or he needs to re-install hmg39.
