Magic copy and paste commands - Windows clipboard

Windows users are no strangers to the Windows clipboard. If we use Windows, we will deal with it. In general, we use it by copying and pasting two commands. In fact, sometimes, clever use of the Windows clipboard function can solve many of the thorny problems:

1, complete display of English Windows string information
We all know, Chinese Windows It is made by English Windows after localization - after Chineseization, the default dot matrix of Chinese characters in Chinese Windows is 9, while the default text dot matrix in English Windows is 10, which makes some English When the Windows software runs under Chinese Windows, the English display is incomplete, which is very distressing. At this time, we just need to select a screenshot software Snagit under Windows, and capture these English strings into the clipboard, and then paste them into the word processing software, the problem is solved. Here is an example:
1, run PackageForTheWeb 2.04 software, first enter the interface as shown in the figure (Figure 1) This is the first step of the wizard - display welcome and copyright and contact information, but we can find the middle Some English can't be seen clearly;

2, start SnagIt software, and choose to grab text (Figure 2), set the capture hotkey to Ctrl+P;

3, switch to the PackageForTheWeb software window, and press SnagIt to grab the text hotkey Ctrl+P, then press the mouse
button to move it to On the PackageForTheWeb software window, select the unclear text, click the left mouse button to grab the text into the Windows clipboard;
4, start the word processing software, press Ctrl+V, it will grab The text can be viewed by copying it from the Windows clipboard to the document. Here is the welcome message for PackageForTheWeb crawled with SnagIt:
Welcome to PackageForTheWeb (R) !
This program will allow you to package your
files into either a Self-Extracting EXE or
Cabinet ( .CAB) file.
The Self-Extracting EXE files generated by
this Wizard support launching a second
application (a setup program, for instance)
when the extraction process is complete.

Version 2.04< BR> At a glance, don't blame others if you don't understand it! This method can also be used to capture the text resources of the application under Windows, eliminating the need for their own entry.

2, English Windows program running problems in Chinese Windows platform
Although many English Windows programs run on the Chinese Windows platform will not have any problems, (Chinese platform provides English Excellent compatibility) But there are still very few softwares, it is difficult to change its "foreign gas", such as:
In the Nero Burning ROM burning software, it is not allowed to directly input the Chinese volume label (even if your burning software is finished) The version is also unable to produce Chinese labels, because Chineseization only localizes its resources and does not Chineseize the kernel. At this time, we can use the copy/paste command again. We can use the program to start the program first. Enter Chinese, then "enter" Chinese by copying and pasting (see Figure 3), and once you have entered the Chinese label, open Nero Cover Editor (set the Chinese label first, then click "File"\\ The "Print CD Cover" command can be found in Nero Cover Editor). At this time, the disc cover and label are in Chinese (see Figure 4). This is any other The function that the burning software does not have (this function is available in WinOnCD, but unfortunately it can't input Chinese characters, that is, it can't make Chinese characters in a ring). There are many examples like this. Similar problems with English software such as Director and AuthorWare can be solved by this method, but sometimes there may be garbled characters (in fact, it is not garbled, but there are some problems on the display). You can ignore it, continue to operate, and generally there will be no problems.

3, permanently save the clipboard content, extend the software function
We are using AuthorWare Multimedia creation often uses the same same content, and the best way to do this is to make a module or library, but the module file needs to be copied and pasted in two steps before it can be saved as a file, which takes a lot of time. (Sometimes hard disk
is ringing all the time). In fact, we can completely realize the storage and reuse of these same parts in a very simple way - using the Windows clipboard. We only need to select the corresponding content in AuthorWare, then copy them to the Windows clipboard, and then open the system's own clipboard viewer (click "Start"\\"Programs\\""Accessories"\\"System Tools "\\"Clipboard Viewer", see Figure 5), save the contents of the current clipboard as a file with the extension CLP, and then open the clipboard to view the program later, and load the CLP file into Windows. In the clipboard, you can paste it into the AuthorWare window, and the CLP file is equivalent to a pointer file under Windows, so the file size is extremely small. Eliminate the hassle of making modules. If you are afraid that others will "borrow" your results, change these CLP file extensions and compress them with a compression software with passwords. This method is suitable for other software and users who use the same version of Windows and software. Finally, the default Windows clipboard can only store one content. The next time the content enters the clipboard, the original content will be overwritten. The solution is to use third-party clipboard enhancement software, such as Windows 95. ClipMate (text only) on the installation CD, or ClipCache software (available for free download from http://www.xrayz.demon.co.uk
), the interface of the ClipCache software is as shown ( See Figure 6). The software takes over the Windows clipping mechanism and records every time the user copies the contents of the clipboard in a file (text and graphics only), and the user can open it at any time and load it into the clipboard again. For the user to use, very convenient.
