Intercept the PASTE message

  The clipboard is a per session resource, while multiply-logged in users there are multiple clipboards. A service cannot access all clipboards.

  Hi:
  
  I think that the word "Service" is not the appropriate one, I use a systray for my application. I'm developing a small application like "SuperCopier" which intercept the paste, CTRL+X notification in order to create a progress bar for copying data with many functionality like (Stop/Resume).

  You could associate the service with a window station and desktop, then create a message only window to capture the clipboard events, but it may not be such a grand idea. Or rather, it would no longer be much of a service.

  You can use a message only window. See http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/win32/tutorials/article.php/c12689/.

  Hi:
  
  I want to tell you that my application is a service that intercept system messages like doing a paste or a CTRL+X
  what I want to tell you is that I do not have a window or any other GUI, however The SetClipboardViewer requires a HWND. How can I get this handle

  Use SetClipboardViewer http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649052.aspx, and handle the WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD message.
