Summary

Gets a buffer of the given format

Pascal

 functionGetBuffer(Format: Word; Buffer: Pointer; Size: Cardinal): Boolean;

Parameters

Parameters	Description
Format: Word	The format ID
Buffer: Pointer	An allocated buffer
Size: Cardinal	The size of the allocated buffer and of the data to retrieve

Return Value

True if data was successfully retrieved, else use Windows.GetLastError to get the error code

Description

The format must be present in the clipboard. If not the function returns false. The buffer and the size parameters must be set to the correct size for the specified format. If they are too small, the data will be truncated, resulting in corrupted values on your side (but you're the one who knows what to do with that). If they are too large, the application will crash as it will be asking the system for more data than available
