ClipboardGetApplication Function
Overview
The ClipboardGetApplication function retrieves the source application name, if available, for the application that last posted information to the clipboard.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string = ClipboardGetApplication ( [handle hClipboard] );
Parameters
hClipboard
An optional handle specifying an open Clipboard Object. If not specified, or specified as NULL_HANDLE, if a Clipboard Object is open, it is automatically selected, and, if no object is open, a new object is opened and then closed upon completion of the function.
Return Value
Returns a string that contains a descriptive name of the source application or an empty string on error. An application code is also placed in the last error buffer. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve the application code or a formatted error code.
Remarks
The application name is an arbitrary string that is created by the host application after it examines the formats posted on the clipboard. This is used as a pattern signature to resolve certain common applications. If the application name cannot be determined, the executable name is added to the ‘Unknown Source (program.exe)’ string.
The application codes are defined in the SDK file LegatoDefault.h and are as follows:
