How can I copy a selected list item into the clipboard?

[simonst]

Hello, in many examples for coding in masm32 I have found a detailled description how
to build a small application that contains a simple listbox. If the user (double)click
on a list item, it is presented in a Message Box.
My question is: how can I copy this selected item into the clipboard instead of presenting
it in a message box???

....example:

.....

.if uMsg == WM_CLOSE

     .elseif uMsg == WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK
        invoke SendMessage,hWin,LB_GETCURSEL,0,0
        mov IndexItem, eax
        invoke SendMessage,hWin,LB_GETTEXT,IndexItem,ADDR Buffer  ; item is now in Buffer

        [copy to clipboard, maybe useful for inserting it later into a texteditor or an input field]

.....

Thanks for any help, best regards
Stefan

Assuming that the item is text, there is a commented example here:

http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=3879.msg28908#msg28908

And for MASM32 v10 the MASM32 library includes procedures for getting and setting clipboard text, see \masm32\m32lib\getcbtxt.asm and \masm32\m32lib\setcbtxt.asm

SetClipboardTextW
