ULSPutUnicodeClipboard

Places Unicode text onto the clipboard.

This function converts the specified string into Unicode (UCS-2) and then places it into the clipboard in the "text/unicode" format. (This format is used by Mozilla and some other applications directly; it is also supported by recent versions of the UClip library, as used by OpenOffice.org 2.x.) Note that the text is NOT copied in plain text format as well; if the application desires this done, it must do so itself (by whatever means it has available).

NOTE: This function does not clear the clipboard of other formats either. That, too, is up to the application to do if it is deemed necessary.

Arguments

ULSPutUnicodeClipboard( string [, sourcecp] [, controls] [, path])

Parameters

string

The string to be placed on the clipboard (required).

sourcecp

The source codepage (a positive integer). This is the codepage with which <string> is encoded (i.e. under which it would display correctly). The default is the current process codepage.

controls

The control-byte mapping flag. This specifies how to convert those byte values which can represent either control codes or glyphs depending on the context: specifically, 0x00-0x19 and 0x7F. Only the first character is significant, and (if specified) must be one of the following values:

D = data/control bytes: leave values unchanged; this is the default

G = displayable glyphs: convert according to codepage like any other character

C = control bytes: convert using standard IBM control mapping

L = treat linebreaks (CR and LF) as control bytes, but all others as displayable glyphs

path

The path conversion flag. This only applies to DBCS codepages, and indicates whether or not <string> should be assumed to contain a path specification. Only the first character is significant, and (if specified) must be one of the following values:

Y = yes, assume string contains a path; this is the default

N = no, assume string doesn't contain a path

Returns

N/A
