RegisterClipboardFormat
A version of this page is also available for
4/8/2010
This function registers a new clipboard format. This format can then be used as a valid clipboard format.
Syntax
UINT RegisterClipboardFormat(
LPCWSTR lpszFormat
);
Parameters
- lpszFormat
[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that names the new format.
Return Value
The registered clipboard format indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Windows Embedded CE supports only the Unicode version of RegisterClipboardFormat.
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.
