DwtEndCopyFromClipboard(3Dwt)

Name

DwtEndCopyFromClipboard − Notifies the cut and paste functions that the application has completed copying an item from the clipboard and unlocks the clipboard. 

Syntax

int DwtEndCopyFromClipboard(display, window)
     Display *display;
     Window window;

Arguments

displaySpecifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay.  For information on XOpenDisplay and the Display structure, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding. 

windowSpecifies the window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard.  The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each clipboard function that it calls. 

Description

The DwtEndCopyFromClipboard function unlocks the clipboard when the application has copied all data from the clipboard.  If the application calls DwtStartCopyFromClipboard, it must call DwtEndCopyFromClipboard.  These two functions lock and unlock the clipboard and allow the application to copy data from the clipboard incrementally. 

Return Value

This function returns one of these status return constants:

ClipboardSuccess The function is successful. 
ClipboardLocked The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application.  The application can continue to call the function with the same parameters until the clipboard is unlocked.  Optionally, the application can ask if the user wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation.
