ClipboardSetText Function

Overview

The ClipboardSetText sets ANSI text onto the Windows clipboard via a Clipboard Object.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = ClipboardSetText ( 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_TEXT designator as 8-bit ANSI text. ANSI is the lowest form of formatted text that is universally accepted by most other applications. Windows will create UNICODE and OEM automatically. The Clipboard Object must first be created using the ClipboardCreate function.

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.
