Hey, Background: I'm busy trying to make a neat little program that reads files, and gives me information about it which works. Question: Instead of dragging and dropping the file into my labVIEW program, I'd like to just have the VI/Exe running in the background, and whenever I hit Ctrl-Shift-M. The file I currently have selected in Windows Explorer, It's path gets copied into my LabVIEW program, and then the program runs once. I can do most of it, but the thing that I'm hoping to find a way, is how can I get the File's path into windows clipboard, or into labVIEW? I'm guessing I'll have to find a windows DLL to find which file is in focus, and then another to write that path to the clipboard, and then I know LV has a feature to read from the clipboard. I apologize if my description is hard to follow, but I just think if this simple feature existed, it'd make File interaction just a lot cooler. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get this done? Regards, Nick.
