Formats Property

Applies To: Clipboard

Description

This is a "read-only" property that identifies the formats in which data is currently available in the clipboard. It is a vector of character vectors containing the names of the corresponding Clipboard properties for which data may be obtained using ⎕WG. In the following example data was copied to the Windows clipboard from Microsoft Excel. This product stores data in CF_Text and the older device-dependent CF_Bitmap formats. The latter excludes colour map information, so CMap is not available.
