ClipDemo  -  RISC OS global clipboard demo

by Richard Blythe

This program, which accompanies the article in this month's magazine, tells you what type of data is on the RISC OS global clipboard. If data in a clipboard-supporting application is cut or pasted to the Clipboard, the file icon in the Clipboard window changes accordingly. If a file is dragged onto the Clipboard window from a Filer window, that file is placed on the Clipboard for use by external applications.

The Owner field shows who currently holds the Clipboard data. If it says Us then the data belongs to ClipDemo, whereas if it says ?? is belongs to an external task.

The program is well documented with remarks and a full discussion of the RISC OS Clipboard system can be found in RISC User.
