Summary

Displays the standard Paste Special dialog box.


Pascal

 functionPasteSpecialDialog: Boolean;


Return Value

Returns true if the dialog could be displayed and the user pressed the OK button, otherwise returns false.


Description

Call PasteSpecialDialog to display the standard Paste Special dialog box, allowing the user to select the format of the clipboard object to be pasted or paste-linked.
The following formats are accepted:

  • Embedded object.
  • Linked Object.
  • Rich Text Format (RTF).
  • Rich Text Format without objects.
  • Unformatted text.
  • Windows bitmap.

With applications that support OLE, the user can initiate the transfer from either the server or the container. For example, the server can copy data to the clipboard in the server application, then switch to the container application and choose Paste Special/Embedded Object or an equivalent menu command to create a new embedded object from the selected data. Or the user can drag the data from one application to the other. The process is similar for creating a linked object.
