Recently I was having trouble reproducing a bug the perf team was running into, it had to do with a specific camera position in our workload. I decided the simplest and most time saving approach (for our purposes and for them) was to have them copy the camera data to a clipboard and email it to me – then I could reproduce the position exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The msdn example code I found for copying data to the clipboard worked fine but it was a little overblown for the simple case I needed. I’ve boiled it down to just a few lines and I wanted to post it here in case anyone else wants to add this simple functionality to their application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if ( ! OpenClipboard(hWnd) ) \n return; \n\nEmptyClipboard(); \n\nchar text[512] = \"Your clipboard text (or data)\";\nsize_t text_len = strlen(text);\n\n\/\/ Allocate a global memory object for the text. \nHGLOBAL hglbCopy = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, (text_len + 1) * sizeof(char)); \n\n\/\/ Lock the handle and copy the text to the buffer. \nchar *lptstrCopy = (char *) GlobalLock( hglbCopy ); \n\nmemcpy(lptstrCopy, text, text_len * sizeof(char) );\nlptstrCopy[text_len] = (char) 0;\n\nGlobalUnlock(hglbCopy); \n\n\/\/ Place the handle on the clipboard. \nSetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hglbCopy); \n\nCloseClipboard( );<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently I was having trouble reproducing a bug the perf team was running into, it had to do with a specific camera position in our workload.
