How can i copy to a clipboard using a TList?

Now while it's perfectly fine to use the forum, and spent a lot of time waiting for answers => there is a quicker, better way: google

And as I understand you are learning (maybe even teaching yourself) how to program, let me just say that programing is not just a few keywords in some language.

One of the points that makes a programmer is the ability to find information:

google: delphi clipboard

FreePascal/Lazarus are very similar, so very often you can use the results the same way.

First page I got was:
http://delphi.about.com/od/vclusing/a/tclipboard.htm

And if there is any diff in freepascal, it gives you enough keywords to search the lazarus source for examples.

First you have to serialize your data.
A TList is an array of pointers. It doesn't have a SaveToFile/Stream method, because it does not make a lot of sense to save pointers to File/Stream.
Once you have saved your data to a TStream, you can define your own clipboard format.
Then ask again ;-)

It makes no sense also to have pointers on clipboard. Why do you want them there?

I made a similar suggestion a few months ago but he just doesn't seem to care.
