DwtUndoCopyToClipboard(3Dwt)

Name

DwtUndoCopyToClipboard − Deletes the last item placed on the clipboard. 

Syntax

int DwtUndoCopyToClipboard(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 DwtUndoCopyToClipboard function deletes the last item placed on the clipboard if the item was placed there by an application with the passed display and window arguments.  Any data item deleted from the clipboard by the original call to DwtCopyToClipboard is restored.  If the display or window IDs do not match the last copied item, no action is taken and this function has no effect. 

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.
