[RESOLVED] How-to read unicode characters from windows clipboard

[wqweto]

`OpenClipboard` might fail on concurrent access -- Remote Desktop Client is particularly annoying

Here is a retrying version, based on vbAccelerator code:

Public Function ClipboardOpen(ByVal hWndOwner As Long) As Boolean
    Dim lR          As Long
    Dim lRetry      As Long

    ClipboardClose
    For lRetry = 1 To 5
        lR = OpenClipboard(hWndOwner)
        If lR <> 0 Then
            m_hWnd = hWndOwner
            m_bClipboardIsOpen = True
            '--- success
            ClipboardOpen = True
            Exit Function
        End If
        Call Sleep(Rnd() * 500)
    Next
End Function

(Note: Make sure to call `Randomize` somewhere on process startup)
