Can we call win32 and shell commands directly using an object create method in vb?
I have developed a program to extract file names from the clip board and you can display them as an array or iterate through the array list since the call back method is an array... So I need to have win32 and shell in order to get the clipboard handle then get the DragQueryFile method from the shell because files are on the system and have to be extracted from the shell. So, I would like to know how to get that object for the shell and win32. Could I get the clipboard object without using win32? Since the clipboard command you have is only for text and someone a while back wanted to get file names, so I can do that now if I have the way of getting the shell object from the system without doing the other shell object; yet I may have answered my question, but still want ideas.
