Examples

• Clip.Capture("on")
  Win.Debug(cliptrackon)
  • Turns clip tracking on, then debugs the state of clip history tracking.
  • The debug window would show 0.
• Clip.Capture("reverse")
  • Toggles the state of PowerPro's clip history tracking, turning it on if it is off, & off if it is on.
• Clip.Capture("on c:/web/cliptest")
  • Sets the clip tracking folder to the specified path, which is defined with forward slashes as folder separators.
• Clip.Capture(?"on c:\web\cliptest")
  • Sets the clip tracking folder to the specified path, which is defined with backslashes as folder separators using ?c..c syntax.
• Clip.Capture(?"on c:\program files\powerpro\clip")
  • Sets the clip tracking folder to PowerPro's default clip folder.
• Clip.Capture("on "++pprofolder++"clip")
  • Also sets the clip tracking folder to PowerPro's default clip folder.
• Clip.Capture("on refresh")
  • Resets PowerPro's internal clips memory.
• Clip.Capture("off")
  File.AllFiles(path,"Clip.FilePaste(\"|\\n\\n\")")
  Clip.Capture("on")
  
  • Turns clip tracking off, performs a clip intensive operation, then turns clip tracking back on again, eliminating the overhead from PowerPro updating its clip folder & memory for each file during the process.

Notes

• PowerPro clip history tracking is initially on, by default.
