CMFCToolBarButton::GetClipboardFormat

Retrieves the global clipboard format for the application.

static CLIPFORMAT __stdcall GetClipboardFormat();

Return Value

The global CLIPFORMAT value for the application.

Remarks

The framework calls this method to retrieve the clipboard format for OLE data transfer operations. For example, the CMFCToolBarButton::CreateFromOleData method uses this method to copy data from a source OLE data object.

This method sets the global CLIPFORMAT value the first time this method is called. All subsequent calls to this method return this value.

To allow drag-and-drop operations to occur between applications, call the CMFCToolBarButton::SetClipboardFormatName method.
