Registered Clipboard Formats
Many applications work with data that cannot be translated into a standard
clipboard format without loss of information. These applications can create their
own clipboard formats. A clipboard format that is used by an application, as
opposed to a standard clipboard format, is called a
registered clipboard format. For example, if a word-processing application copied formatted text to the
clipboard using a standard text format, the formatting information would be
lost. The solution would be to register a new clipboard format, such as Rich Text
Format (RTF).
To register a new clipboard format, use the
RegisterClipboardFormat function. This function takes the name of the format and returns and unsigned
integer value that represents the registered clipboard format. To retrieve the
name of the registered clipboard format, pass the unsigned integer value to
the
GetClipboardFormatName function.
If more than one application registers a clipboard format with exactly the
same name, the clipboard format is registered only once. Both calls to the
RegisterClipboardFormat function return the same value. In this way, two different applications can
share data by using a registered clipboard format.
For a list of standard clipboard formats, see the
SetClipboardData function.
