Thank you for your input, but... I know most of the Win32 API clipboard
functions, I've used pretty much all of them. I still haven't found a way to
invoke a clipboard cut/copy/paste on another program without using
keybd_event, and I can't use that because (trust me) it screws with the
keyboard, either it puts keys down when they should be up, or leaves keys up
when they should be down, because i have to make it seem like the user let
go of the hotkey, and then pressed ctrl-c etc, and then put the buttons back
down, but if i check if the buttons were down before that, and put them back
down, sometimes they are already put back up by the user, and that causes
problems with the keyboard....
