Arguments

displaySpecifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay. For information on XOpenDisplay and the Display structure, see the Guide to the Xlib Library: C Language Binding.

bufferSpecifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies the data.

lengthSpecifies the number of bytes in the data item.

private_idSpecifies the private data that the application wants to store with the data item.

Description

The DwtReCopyToClipboard function copies the actual data for a data item that was previously passed by name to the clipboard. Additional calls to DwtReCopyToClipboard append new data to the existing data. This function cannot be used to pass data by name.

Return Values

This function returns one of these status return constants:

ClipboardSuccess	The function is successful.
ClipboardLocked	The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application. The application can continue to call the function with the same parameters until the clipboard is unlocked. Optionally, the application can ask if the user wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation.
