Topic: clipboardsequencenumber ?

Ok,  anyone have any idea how to use this Microsoft API function in LISP a application.  I am looking to check the sequence number prior to performing a function then again during the operation of the function to determine if anything was pasted to the clipboard during the running of the function.  Sorry if this seems trivial, I am not having any luck solving this task.

I have no experience working with that particular method, but to offer an alternative: how about comparing the content of the clipboard before & after running your function?

Lee, that's what I am looking to accomplish, the only way I found this could be done was with the sequence number, if you know of another method I'm all ears.

You could use MP's _GetClipBoardText function to check the content of the clipboard before & after running your function.
