Copy to and from clipboard works on Windows and not on MacOS

[daniel_sap]

Hi
I have this code which copies stream data to and from clipboard.
It works fine on Windows, but not under MacOS.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure CopyStreamToClipboard(fmt: Cardinal; S: TStream);
2. begin
3.   Clipboard.Open;
4.   try
5.     Clipboard.AddFormat(fmt, S); // Директно използване на fmt за Windows
6.   finally
7.     Clipboard.Close;
8.   end;
9. end;
10.  

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function copyClipboardToStream(aFormat: Cardinal; aStream: TStream): Boolean;
2. begin
3.   Result := false;
4.  
5.   if not Assigned(aStream) then
6.     exit;
7.  
8.   Clipboard.Open();
9.   try
10.     if not Clipboard.HasFormat(aFormat) then
11.       exit;
12.  
13.     Result := Clipboard.GetFormat(aFormat, aStream);
14.   finally
15.     Clipboard.Close();
16.   end;
17.  
18. end;
19.  

Can you, advice, what will be the appropriate approach to handle the stream read write to clipboard on MacOS

Thanks

The issue was that I pass Cardinal and it needs to be TClipboardFormat.
This code was ported from Delphi and not adjusted after that.

So, the copy and paste works perfect on Windows and MacOs

Here is the changed code, if someone came to such situation

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function CopyStreamToClipboard(aFormat: TClipboardFormat; S: TStream): Boolean;
2. begin
3.   Clipboard.Open;
4.   try
5.     Result := Clipboard.AddFormat(aFormat, S);
6.   finally
7.     Clipboard.Close;
8.   end;
9. end;
10.  
11. function CopyClipboardToStream(aFormat: TClipboardFormat; aStream: TStream): Boolean;
12. begin
13.   Result := false;
14.  
15.   if not Assigned(aStream) then
16.     exit;
17.  
18.   Clipboard.Open();
19.   try
20.     if not Clipboard.HasFormat(aFormat) then
21.       exit;
22.  
23.     Result := Clipboard.GetFormat(aFormat, aStream);
24.   finally
25.     Clipboard.Close();
26.   end;
27.  
28. end;
29.

Hi
I have this code which copies stream data to and from clipboard.
It works fine on Windows, but not under MacOS.

Inside MacoOs , for complex objects, You can execute pbcopy and pbpaste.
Are these still availble?
