[DUG] Copy WideString to the clipboard

[Steve Peacocke]

oops - wrong fingers on wrong keys. Sorry Stefan (not Stevan).

BTW: The TTntClipboard declares 2 properties that can use.

  public
    property AsWideText: WideString read GetAsWideText write SetAsWideText;
    property AsText: WideString read GetAsWideText write SetAsWideText;

but both appear to be the same so AsText will be the same as AsWideText.

I presume you would change this to ...

clp := TTntClipboard.Create;
clp.AsText := MyText.Text;
clp.Free;
