RegisterClipboardFormat (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/28/2014

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 Compact 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.
