Clipboard Expander

This is a simple Clipboard® expander.  It gives you access through a stack of text boxes to the last dozen unique text entries sent to the Clipboard®.  To place an item back into the Clipboard®, just double-click on the box containing the text.  This will also move that clip to the top of the stack.

A single click on a text box will move the cursor to it and allow you to scroll through the entire text clip.  You can edit a clip by typing in new characters, or you can delete existing characters with either the <Delete> or <Backspace> keys.  It is possible to cut and copy out of clips using ^X, ^C keys respectivly and to paste into clips using the  ^V key.  If you cut or copy less than the entire clip, it will generate a new entry on the stack.

Entire clips can be removed from the stack by clicking on the numbered button next to that clip.  The stack will move upward to fill in the gap.

When you exit the Clipboard Expander (or Windows®) the program writes the present set of clips to the CLIPEXP.INI file in the \Windows directory.  It reads this file when it is started, refilling the stack, so as long as you exit Windows® normally, your clips will be preserved for the next session.

This is version 2.4.  This version tightens the code and uses less system time.

You should place the icon for the Clipboard® Expander in your StartUp group.  This program requires VBRUN300.DLL.

And now for a word from the lawyers (would that society were not so litigious).
