Cut files to Clipboard (in Windows)
«
on:
May 23, 2023, 12:38:19 pm »
Here I found a nice piece of code which copies list of files to clipboard and then those files can be pasted in a Windows Explorer window:
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,51601.msg379065.html#msg379065
But how do I do the same but instead of "copy" I need "cut", so files are not copied but moved?

Microsoft's
Handling Delete-on-Paste Operations
documentation explains how to accomplish this.
You can still use the same
CF_HDROP
data format for the file paths, but you will have to wrap that data inside of an object that implements the
IDataObject
interface, so that the paster can communicate back to you whether the paste was successful or not, and whether the files were copied or moved. If the paste was successful but the files were copied, you will have to delete the source files yourself.

A lot more complicated than it should be. Thanks for the info!

Since I never needed such in my applications, I can't help much but a good starting point to be used as a tutorial I found
here
.
I hope it helps.

If you truly want to move files, this means the source is going to be deleted.
Windows has "MoveFileEx" A or the W version.
Also, you can use the "ShFileOperation" which allows you to do all kinds of juicy stuff.
