I’m trying make an WPF application that I could copy/cut and paste files info

  • 0

I’m trying make an WPF application that I could copy/cut and paste files info and it would copy/move them to a special folder. I know I can get the paths of the files being copied/cut with

var files = Clipboard.GetFileDropList();

But I would like to know, do I need to copy or move the files? I’ve read something about listening to WM_COPY and WM_CUT. And I tried by hooking a Hwnd hook to my window handel and it didn’t work, neither WM_COPY nor WM_CUT got called. And I tried everyting.

So what’s the best way of determining if the files were copied or cut?
And some code examples or links would really help a lot.

Thank you.

    Work from https://stackoverflow.com/a/2078081/939213 backwards. and for copying – substitute 5 for 2.
