Re: Saving unicode text to the clipboard

Hi,

Im trying to save a string (unicode) to the clipboard, but it fails and
i cant see why.

Here is my code.

<snip>
// for testing, create a CString.
CString data = _T("my data");

data.FreeExtra();
HGLOBAL clipbuffer = GlobalAlloc( GMEM_DDESHARE,
data.GetAllocLength()+sizeof(wchar_t) );
if (clipbuffer == NULL)
{
    ASSERT(0);
    return;
}

wchar_t *buffer = (wchar_t*)GlobalLock(clipbuffer);
wcscpy_s( buffer, data.GetAllocLength()+sizeof(wchar_t),
(wchar_t*)data.GetBuffer() );

GlobalUnlock(clipbuffer);

EmptyClipboard();

// The next line fails.
SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT, clipbuffer);

CloseClipboard();

</snip>

The error is:

The debugger stops on line 110 in 'free.c' func:
void __cdecl _free_base (void * pBlock)

 >> retval = HeapFree(_crtheap, 0, pBlock);

Any ideas what im doing wrong?
