ClipboardSetUTF Function

Overview

The ClipboardSetUTF sets UTF text onto the Windows clipboard via a Clipboard Object under the Novaworks UTF-8 format.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = ClipboardSetUTF ( handle hClipboard, string data | handle hPool );

Parameters

hClipboard

A handle to a Clipboard Object.

data

A string containing text to place on the clipboard or,

hPool

A handle to a String Pool Object containing the text to place on the clipboard.

Return Value

Returns an int value as ERROR_NONE or a formatted error code.

Remarks

The function places data on the clipboard using the cf_utf designator as 8-bit UTF text. The Clipboard Object must first be created using the ClipboardCreate function.

UTF-8 is a proprietary format used by Novaworks software products to interchange UTF like text. Note that posting UTF does not automatically post text or Unicode.

Multiple formats can be posted to the clipboard. Posting text provides a ‘lowest common denominator’ for applications.

Force a single line of data, avoid adding a line return. Make edit and combo box style controls will not accept text with a return at the end.
