RegisterClipboardFormat
The RegisterClipboardFormat
function registers a new clipboard format. This format can then be used as a
valid clipboard format.
UINT RegisterClipboardFormat(
|
LPCTSTR lpszFormat |
// address of name
string |
|
); |
|
Parameters
lpszFormat
Points to a
null-terminated string that names the new format.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value identifies the registered clipboard format.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
If a
registered format with the specified name already exists, a new format is not
registered and the return value identifies the existing format. This enables
more than one application to copy and paste data using the same registered
clipboard format. Note that the format name comparison is case-insensitive.
Registered
clipboard formats are identified by values in the range 0xC000 through 0xFFFF.
