It turned out API may be avoided if we dump our HTML string to a file and then use Internet Explorer object.

STRTOFILE( htmldesc , "c:\myfragment.htm" )
PUBLIC oie as internetexplorer.application
oIE = createobject( "internetexplorer.application" )

oie.silent = .t.
oIE.Visible = .f.
oIE.Navigate( "c:\myfragment.htm" )
DO WHILE oie.Busy() && Let the page finish navigating
ENDDO
oie.execwb ( 17 ,2 ,0 , 0 ) && select all 
oie.execwb ( 12 ,2 ,0 , 0 ) && Copy to clipboard 

>I presume it should be possible using Windows API to place into clipboard chunk of HTML and set clipboard format as HTML. Could anyone advise a reference to the clipboard samples or just give an example of such API call.
