The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SUMMARY

The documentation for the WM_RENDERFORMAT message on page 6-98 of the "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1" for version 3.0, and on page 188 of the "Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros" manual for version 3.1 is incomplete.

The following information should be added to the documentation for the function as a Comments section:


   During the processing of this message, the <B>OpenClipboard</B> and
   <B>CloseClipboard</B> functions should NOT be called. The                WM_RENDERFORMAT message is sent from within the <B>GetClipboardData</B>    function which an application calls from within a block of code            surrounded by the <B>OpenClipboard</B> and <B>CloseClipboard</B>          functions. While processing the WM_RENDERFORMAT message, the application    should not again call the <B>OpenClipboard</B> and <B>CloseClipboard</B>    functions.

NOTE: The first sentence of the preceding information is already included on page 188 of the "Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros" manual for version 3.1.

Note that while processing the WM_RENDERALLFORMATS message, the OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard functions must be called in order to call the SetClipboardData function. For more information, query on the following words:
