CLIPISFORMAT() Function - Get Clipboard Format Availability
Syntax
CLIPISFORMAT (fmt[,ERR=lineref])
Description
For BBj-specific information, see the Clipboard
Verbs and Functions.
The CLIPISFORMAT() function checks the availability of clipboard formats
for data to be copied to the application. A non-zero value indicates that
the format is available and can be retrieved by the application. Clipboard
formats between 1 and 1023 are reserved by Windows. Clipboard format 1
is the identifying format for plain text. Clipboard format 8 is the identifying
format for bitmaps and should be copied or pasted to a file with CLIPFROMFILE
and CLIPTOFILE.

Description |
|---|---|
|
fmt |
A positive integer that represents a clipboard format registered by CLIPREGFORMAT(). |
|
ERR=lineref |
Branch to be taken if an error occurs during execution. |
Remarks
| TIM=int | In BBj 20.20 and higher, the TIM=int option will cause the CLIPISFORMAT() function to timeout, reporting an error, if it's not able to read the clipboard within int seconds. TIM=0 is equivalent to not specifying the TIM=int option at all. |
