VBA: Read file from clipboard

Question

I\'m trying to load a file in a VBA macro that has been copied from, say, an Explorer window.

I can easily get the data from the clipboard using DataObject::GetFrom

Answer 1

Save the files if they are in the clipboard to the destination folder.

Public Declare PtrSafe Function IsClipboardFormatAvailable Lib "user32" (ByVal wFormat As Long) As Long

Public Const CF_HDROP       As Long = 15

        Public Function SaveFilesFromClipboard(DestinationFolder As String) As Boolean
            SaveFilesFromClipboard = False
            If Not CBool(IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_HDROP)) Then Exit Function
            CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace(CVar(DestinationFolder)).self.InvokeVerb "Paste"
            SaveFilesFromClipboard = True
        End Function
