That's OK if you are creating the clipboard code in the interfacobject.

All platform dependent calls are called like

LCL --> InterfaceObject == GTKObject --> GTK calls == QTObject --> QT calls
== WIN32Object --> WIN32 calls

You said something about API calls. What API calls do you mean?

There exists also WINAPI code and for now it is part of the InterfaceObject (I have some ideas to split this up and have a WINAPIObject per Control per Platrform, but thats for later)

The API functions I mentioned were the normal WINAPI clipboard functions.

If you start to implement some platform functions it is sometimes a nice starting point to first implement them in the WINAPI and after that implemet it on LCL (which should be easy then). This way you can test every single function before inserting them in a complex environment. As a nice side effect, porting will be easier in the future.

BTW if you're implementing the gtk clipboard , do you also look at the API clipboard functions ???

Verstehe ich das richtig das du schon einen Ersatz fuer TmwEditList hast ?

Yes, but by using GDK TClipboard will loss it's platform/widget independencie. You said something about API calls. What API calls do you mean?

I have some problems implementing the GTK clipboard (selections). According to the GTK+ documentation, all GTK+ specific selection functions needs a GTK widget.
But that isn't available, because TClipboard is a non-visual component. Is there any other way? Maybe by using Xlib calls?

You probably already looked there but I'll give them anyway. If I understand it corectly, the clipboard is just a selection with a predifind target CLIPBOARD.

Does someone know how to access the Linux clipboard (??gpm??) ? I've already looked into the GTK+ sources, gpm.h and other thing as well, and I tried to ask this question in a few discussion groups, but I couldn't find anything or didn't get any awnsers.
